Islamabad United vs Quetta Gladiators

Match Details

The 21st match of Pakistan Super League 2023 is scheduled to play between Islamabad United and Quetta Gladiators on Sunday 5th March 2023 at Pindi Club Ground, Rawalpindi.

PSL 2023 T20 21st Match Overview

Islamabad United is currently the third-best-performing team this season in the Pakistan Super League. They had played six matches with four wins to their name. They had lost just two matches and are holding third place on the points table. They are equal in the points with Multan Sultans who are situated in the second position but are poor in net run rate. They are coming to this match on the back of a massive win over Karachi Kings in their most recent match with a big margin of six wickets.

Previews three seasons of Pakistan Super League had not been good for Quetta Gladiators and they had also failed to give the best performance in this edition of PSL T20. They are currently the worst-performing team in this tournament and we don’t think that they have any chance to qualify for the playoff. They had won just one out of six matches played till now. They had lost five matches and are laying at the bottom of the points table.

Islamabad United Previews

The batting order of Islamabad United is very strong and experienced and they had shown their power in the previous matches of this tournament. Their most recent match against Karachi Kings is a big example of it where they lost the toss and were asked to field first. The performance of their bowling unit was not very good and they leaked more than 200 runs in 20 overs. Almost all bowlers from their side leaked plenty of runs. Shadab Khan was the most economical bowler but he failed to pick any wicket. He was charged with 21 runs in four overs. Tom Curran was the most successful and highest wicket-taker from their side with two wickets to his name in four overs against 43 runs. Rumman Raees, Hasan Ali, and Faheem Ashraf also performed well and picked one wicket each while Mubasir Khan was given just one over to bowl where he leaked six runs and failed to pick any wicket.

Quetta Gladiators Previews

Quetta Gladiators had now lost four matches consecutively and their most recent loss came against Lahore Qalandars. Quetta Gladiators also had proven unlucky in this tournament as they got many chances to win the previous match in both innings. They send the top seven batters of Lahore Qalandars back to the pavilion on a total of just 50 runs but failed to stop Rashid Khan and Sikandar Raza from scoring the runs. They leaked a total of 148 runs and send the full team of Lahore Qalandars back to the pavilion in 19.2 overs. They used six bowlers in the previous match and almost all bowlers from their side performed well. Mohammad Nawaz was the most successful bowler from their side with two wickets to his name in three overs against just 19 runs.

Naveen-ul-Haq also performed well in the previous match and picked two wickets while he was charged with 36 runs. Umaid Asif, Odean Smith, and Naseem Shah picked one wicket each while Mohammad Hafeez was the only bowler from their side who failed to pick any wicket. Quetta Gladiators had a second chance to win this match in the batting inning where they got a good opening start of 53 runs for the partnership of the first wicket. This is very insane to see a team score more than 50 runs for the partnership of the first wicket in the first six overs and they could manage to score 131 runs in 20 overs. Yes, we saw this in the previous match of Quetta Gladiators. Will Smeed proved the most successful and highest run-scorer from their side with 32 runs to his name on 25 balls with the help of six boundaries. Sarfaraz Ahmed was the other batsman who put some runs on the board. He scored 27 runs on 28 balls and remained not out till the 20th over.

Pitch Report

The 21st match of the Pakistan Super League season 2023 is scheduled to be held at Pindi Club Ground, Rawalpindi. The pitch at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore is known for providing producing high-scoring matches. The pitch generally favors the batter and the ball comes onto the bat quite nicely. The pitch also offers some assistance to spinners as the match progresses. Fast bowlers may get some early swing and bounce especially in the first six overs but as the match progresses, the pitch tends to flatten out. The outfield is usually very fast which makes things easier for the batters to score runs quickly. Overall, the pitch at Gaddafi Stadium Lahore is considered to be a good batting surface with some help for the bowlers.

Weather Report

The weather in Rawalpindi is excellent for this match. Lahore is typically known for pleasant weather and good temperatures ranging from 12°C to 26°C in February. The sky is mostly clear during this month and there is almost no chance of rain. However. The humidity levels can be relatively high, making it feel slightly warmer.
