Quetta Gladiators vs Islamabad United Preview

• Although Quetta’s openers are dangerous, we believe Iftikhar Ahmed will be the man to watch today.
• Rahmanullah Gurbaz’s thrilling 62-ball knock helped Islamabad defeat Peshawar Zalmi.
• Rassie van der Dussen has been in good form and will keep Islamabad’s innings together.

 

Following an agonizing defeat to Babar Azam’s Peshawar Zalmi, Islamabad United will face the Quetta Gladiators in PSL 2023 Match 13 at the National Stadium in Karachi. Despite one of the teams in this forthcoming encounter having just played two games, the Quetta Gladiators are the team with the fewest points in the rankings.

Quetta Gladiators have had a difficult start to the season, with only one win in four games. Furthermore, they enter Match 13 on the heels of two consecutive victories – their most recent defeat was by 63 runs.

Islamabad United enters PSL 2023 Match 13 after defeating Peshawar Zalmi in Match 12. They defeated Babar Azam’s team by 6 wickets, most notably in the 15th over, and are confident of moving up the points table.

Quetta Gladiators vs Islamabad United Weather Report, Toss Prediction, and Pitch Report

Clouds are forecast on a warm evening, with temperatures ranging from 29 to 16 degrees during the game. The humidity level will be approximately 47%.

The winning captain will most likely bowl first at this site because chasing the target under the lights will be a much easier assignment.

Because the surface at this site is flat, bowlers will not benefit much from it. Spinners, on the other hand, have a better chance in the middle overs. Finally, on this slow-paced pitch, batsmen can be urged to attack from the first delivery.

Islamabad United is the favorite to win this match.

 

The Gladiators won the previous meeting between these two teams by 5 wickets. Yet, their entire squad has struggled to play as a cohesive unit since then. On the other side, the addition of Rahmanullah Gurbaz has added consistency to Islamabad United’s batting unit. This is why we believe the United will easily defeat the Gladiators in Match 13.
