Match Prediction – Quetta Gladiators vs Islamabad United, 10
th
Match Pakistan Super League 2022
Quetta Gladiators will take on Islamabad United in the 10
th
match of the Pakistan Super League. While Islamabad United won their first and only match in the competition so far, Quetta Gladiators have lost two of their three matches.
Quetta Gladiators were on the receiving end of a jarring final over loss against Peshawar Zalmi in the first match. Although they bounced back with a strong win against Karachi Kings in the next match following a wonderful bowling performance led by Naseem Shah, they failed to sustain the winning momentum and had to see the face of defeat once again in their most recent game.
Gladiators conceded too many runs at the hands of Shan Masood and with the exception of James Faulkner and Mohammad Hasnain, the bowling unit failed to make a mark. However, it was during the run-chase where they completely lost their way. Ben Duckett and Iftikhar Ahmed played a couple of good knocks but little support from the rest of the cast resulted in a six-run loss against Multan Sultans.
With one win and two losses, Quetta Gladiators are third in the PSL 2022 table. They have a net run rate of +0.486 and will be desperate to bounce back with another win here.
Islamabad United were spectacular in the opening match against Peshawar Zalmi. Hasan Ali and Faheem Ashraf bowled fabulously but a late flourish from Sherfane Rutherford, who remained unbeaten on 70 from 46, saw Islamabad United getting to a competitive total of 168.
However, Islamabad’s opening batters Alex Hales and Paul Stirling made light work of the run-chase. They stitched a breathtaking 110+ run-stand inside the first 10 overs to get their tails up. Stirling smacked a quick-fire 57 at a strike rate of 228 but Rahmanullah Gurbaz arrived at the crease following his dismissal. Along with Hales, he ensured that no further wickets fell as Islamabad United marched to a win inside 16 overs. Alex Hales finished the night on 82 not out.
Islamabad United are scheduled to play a match with Multan Sultans prior to this game. They are currently ranked second in the PSL table and are the only team with a 100% winning record besides Multan Sultans.
As far as the historical record is concerned between the two sides, Quetta Gladiators have been only marginally successful with seven wins while Islamabad United have won six games. With that being said, Islamabad United had won both their matches against Quetta Gladiators last season.
