Time | 7.30Pm IST, 7 Pm Local Time, 2.00 Pm GMT |
Venue | Pindi Club Groud, Rawalpindi |
Islamabad United have won three out of their five league matches and are currently sitting third on the points table. Hasan Ali is expected to be impactful with the ball where as Captain Shadab would be wanting to repeat his form of the previous edition of the PSL. Islamabad are set to play Karachi Kings on Friday.
Whereas, Quetta Gladiators are at the bottom with just one win in their six matches played in the league so far. Iftikhar would be on the focus again to contribute heavily.
It would just be the third match played at the Pindi Ground. We expect the pitch to suit the batters and the match to be a high-scoring one.
The weather is set to be cloudy but no rain is expected. A full match is on the cards with a bit of breeze around.

Mohammad Hasnain is expected to be back if fit. Quetta had a poor outing against Lahore, but they are likely to play the same team barring the inclusion of Hasnain.
It Is 8-8 for both the teams until now. We expect United to win the battle and make it 9 - 8.

Bowlers | Mohammad Hasnain, Hasan Ali, Tom Curran |
Hasan Ali has been very impressive after making a comeback into the side. Hasan has scalped 7 wickets in just 3 games with an average of just 16 at the time of writing. Ali would be expected to create an impact with the ball again on Sunday.
Shadab hasn’t been impressive with either bat or ball in the current PSL, but with the potential he has, we can always expect him to come good in one department or the other.
Hasnain has been the best bowler for the Quetta Gladiators until now. He has bowled with pace and has been good with the new ball. Hasnain has scalped 8 wickets in 5 matches. He is likely to return to the playing XI and create an impact straightaway.
Munro has scored 154 runs in 5 games at an average of 30.8 so far, with a game against Karachi Kings lined up. Munro would be expected to give United a good start again if they are to grab 2 points against Gladiators.
Though Iftikhar Ahmed has not had the best of tournaments until now, Quetta would be hoping he contributes heavily in the games to follow. Ahmed can contribute in all the departments and could well be a game changer for Gladiators against Islamabad.
