Islamabad United vs Quetta Gladiators Predictions

Islamabad hit their straps with an eight-wicket win in their opener, only to suffer a five-wicket loss to the Sultans in their second match. The Gladiators are in second place on the table (one place above Islamabad) after winning both of their opening matches on the bounce.

Islamabad United’s Agha Salman has scored 64* & 52 in his last 2 innings.
Islamabad United’s Alex Hales has scored 60, 22 & 36 in his last 4 innings.
Quetta Gladiators’ Saud Shakeel has scored 74 & 40 in his last 2 innings.
Quetta Gladiators’ Khawaja Nafay scored 60* off 31 balls in the win over the Qalandars.

Head-to-Head

Islamabad have won four of their last five matches against the Gladiators, including the last two on the bounce.

Islamabad United Form

After winning their opener, Islamabad came down to earth with a five-wicket loss to the Sultans.

Islamabad struggled to post 144 off their 20 overs, with only Agha Salman (52) and Jordan Cox (41 off 28) contributing with the bat.

Naseem Shah (2/27) and Imad Wasim (1/22) made the Sultans work hard for their win, which came with just one ball remaining.

Islamabad United Team News

Islamabad need to bounce back after the disappointing loss to the Sultans to find the form that saw them beat the Qalandars by eight wickets.

Quetta Gladiators Form

The Gladiators followed-up their opening 16-run win over Zalmi by beating the Qalandars by five wickets.

The Qalandars posted a challenging 187/7 off their 20 overs, Akeal Hosein (2/17 econ 4.25) starring with the ball.

Jason Roy (24) and Saud Shakeel (40 off 23) got the chase off to a good start for the Gladiators, leaving it to Khawaja Nafay (60* off 31) to drive their side through to the win with five balls to spare.

Quetta Gladiators Team News

The Gladiators are in good form after winning their opening two matches and are unlikely to make any changes to their lineup

Verdict

Quetta Gladiators v Islamabad United

I am backing Islamabad United to win. I am also backing Agha Salman to top score for Islamabad United.

Saud Shakeel is a good bet to top score for the Quetta Gladiators.
