QG vs IU Team Previews

Quetta Gladiators

Quetta Gladiators have done a decent job up until now and a win here will put them in a firm position as far as the race to the playoffs is concerned. Having said that, these are still early days and a couple of wins on the board might not be of much relevance if they are not able to keep the momentum going. Because of that, they would also want to get their combination right and get back to the winning ways.

Currently, on the points table, Quetta Gladiators are placed at the fourth spot on the ladder with one win and two losses, aggregating to two points. Besides, they have a net run rate of 0.486, which could come in handy if things get tight. A win here will push them to the third spot and that is exactly what they will be aiming to do.

Islamabad United

Islamabad United have appeared to be one of the better-balanced sides in the tournament so far and a poor result in their last match would have hit them hard. It might well act as a wake-up call for them and they will be raring to go to turn things around.

As it currently stands, they are placed at the third spot on the ladder with two points and a net run-rate of 0.673. Their net run rate shows how dominant they were in the match that they won and will be looking to repeat that kind of performance in this upcoming match. A win here will take them on the second spot on the ladder, pushing Qalandars down to the third, provided they are able to win the match by a decent enough margin.

On paper, Islamabad United have an immaculately balanced side that is rich in talent and experience. They were caught off-guard in their last match and will need to be at their very best in this upcoming match. If they are able to do that, getting past them would be a very difficult task.

Pitch and Conditions

The National Stadium at Karachi has so far produced many high-scoring contests in the tournament already and the surface in this match too is expected to be a belter.

Keeping all that in mind, the team batting first would want to post a total of at least 185 runs on the board.

Rahmanullah Gurbaz may not have scored a big one yet but has looked pretty good whenever he has come onto bat. He bats fairly up the order and once set, he can be a dangerous customer. He is a terrific striker of the cricket ball and will want to make this Innings count. Bet on Gurbaz to be the best batsman of the day for Islamabad United.
