Fakhar Zaman has been in great form with the bat. Zaman has scored 235 runs in 5 matches played at an average of 47. He is the second highest runs getter in the PSL 2023 until now.
Afridi has made a strong comeback after the knee injury he sustained during the World Cup. Shaheen has scalped 10 wickets in just 5 matches and 18 overs that he has bowled.
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.
Shafique has played just two matches in the ongoing league but has been highly impressive in both of them. Shafique looked in great touch and could well be the batter to watch out again.
Though Iftikhar Ahmed hasn’t 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 Qalandars.
