Quetta Gladiators Team News & Playing 11
Except Shane Watson, no other batsman has been able to score runs consistently which seems to be a big problem for the Gladiators. Not only is the Australian all-rounder one of the leading run-scorers of PSL 3, he has also taken the most wickets for his team which makes him a valuable asset in this line-up. While the Gladiators need the likes of Kevin Pietersen, Rilee Rossouw and Sarfraz Ahmed to step up with the bat, they will be expecting a good bowling performance from Ben Laughlin, Rahat Ali and Mohammad Nawaz.

Islamabad United Team News & Playing 11
Their top three in Luke Ronchi, JP Duminy and Alex Hales form the core of the team's batting. Ronchi who is currently second on the runs charts smashed his third fifty of the season in the last game against Multan Sultans and he will be expected to play a similar knock in this match. Faheem Ashraf, Samit Patel and Mohammad Sami have been very impressive with the ball and it will be mainly up to these three to apply pressure on the Gladiators. Islamabad will back Ashraf to strike early with the new ball.

Quetta Gladiators vs Islamabad United Prediction
Although Quetta Gladiators and Islamabad United are already through to the playoffs, there will be no drop in intensity levels from both these teams as they will want to finish at the top of the points table at the end of the league stage. Quetta inflicted a nine-wicket defeat on Islamabad when these two teams met in the fifth game of the ongoing season. However, the latter have won three of their past four matches played against the former which will give them a psychological edge heading into this game. Islamabad also possess more batting strength and we therefore predict them to win this match.
Final Verdict: Back Islamabad United to beat Quetta Gladiators.
