The top two teams in the PSL this season both have powerful batting lineups filled with big hitters. This game should boil down to who bowls better, and I’m backing the Islamabad attack to do the business.

- Islamabad United’s Sahibzada Farhan has scored 36, 39 & 73 in his last 4 innings.
- Quetta Gladiators’ Hasan Nawaz has scored 64*, 100* & 67* in his last 5 innings.

Head-to-Head
Quetta Gladiators have won three and lost one of their last five matches against Islamabad United. The other match was rained-off.
Quetta Gladiators Form
The Gladiators made it six wins from their last six completed matches when they beat the Multan Sultans by two wickets.
The Sultans started well but struggled to keep the runs flowing towards the end of their 20 overs, reaching 185/7. Usman Tariq (3/32, econ 8.00 knocked over three of the Sultans’ top four.
The Gladiators got off to a strong start thanks to Khawaja Nafay (51 off 26 balls). Hasan Nawaz (67* off 38) dominated the second half of their innings, taking his side through to a thrilling last-ball finish.
Quetta Gladiators Team News
Gladiators skipper Saud Shakeel has struggled to perform at the top of the innings and might drop down the order, especially with Finn Allen and Rilee Rossouw having returned in time for the playoffs.
Islamabad United Form
Islamabad United ended their four-match losing streak by beating the Karachi Kings by 79 runs.
Sahibzada Farhan (73 off 41 balls) and Alex Hales (88 off 35) got Islamabad off to a flying start with an opening stand of 153 off 11.3 overs. They finished their 20 overs on a monster score of 251/5.
The Islamabad attack had the Kings reeling at 114/7 thanks to magnificent bowling from Shadab Khan (4/45). Salman Irshad (3/28) and Imad Wasim (2/22) were also on fire as the Kings were bowled out for 172 off 18.2 overs.
