Quetta Gladiators vs Rawalpindiz Predictions

The Gladiators have 1 win in 4 matches, but that win was against the struggling Kingsmen. Rawalpindiz have lost all 4 of their matches but still have to play the Kingsmen, so this could be a tight clash.

Quetta Gladiators Form

The Gladiators slipped to their 3rd defeat in the season when they suffered back-to-back big-wicket defeats against United (8 wickets) and the Sultans (6 wickets).

The Gladiators recovered from 15/2 to reach 166/7 off their 20 overs thanks to Saud Shakeel (56 off 41) and Bevon Jacobs (49* off 31).

The target failed to challenge the Sultans, who raced to the win off 17.3 overs for the loss of just 4 wickets. Hasan Nawaz (2/17) was the pick of the Gladiators bowlers.

Rawalpindiz Form

Rawalpindiz were hit with their 4th straight defeat as they continue to struggle to come to terms with life in the PSL.

Rawalpindiz were battling at 79/4 before Sam Billings lifted them to 182/8 off their 20 overs with an innings of 56* off 34 balls.

The Rawalpindiz bowlers failed to restrain the Sultans top-order as they secured a 7-wicket win off just 16.2 overs. Mohammad Amir (2/32) knocked over 2 of the Sultans’ top three batters.

The Karachi pitch has been laid for run-scoring, so we should be in store for a runs feast as these two teams scrap for a win they are both desperate to secure.

Rawalpindiz have brought in Kiwi paceman Ben Sears to fill in for the injured pair of Naseem Shah and Zaman Khan. The Gladiators will be hoping for a big performance from their top-order.

Quetta Gladiators possible XI: Saud Shakeel (c), Shamyl Hussain, Rilee Rossouw, Hasan Nawaz, Khawaja Nafay, Bevon Jacobs, Tom Curran, Ahmed Daniyal, Alzarri Joseph, Abrar Ahmed, Usman Tariq.

Rawalpindiz possible XI: Mohammad Rizwan (c), Yasir Khan, Kamran Ghulam, Abdullah Fazal, Sam Billings, Daryl Mitchell, Dian Forrester, Rishad Hossain, Jalat Khan, Mohammad Amir, Ben Sears.
