Islamabad United vs Quetta Gladiators (12th match of PSL 2021)

  1. Current Performance: Quetta Gladiators has lost all their three matches of the competition because of the awful performance of their bowlers. The team received a boost much needed by the injection of du Plessis & Cameron Delport at the top & veteran pacer Dale steyn into the playing 11. Even then they could not defend their total of 198 runs. Their bowlers need to step up their games quick & fast. Otherwise they will find themselves in deep trouble pretty soon.

After winning their first two matches of the competition, Islamabad United lost their last match pretty badly in the hands of Peshawar Zalmi. Their batters let them down. They have plenty of batsmen in their playing 11 but all of them looked sloppy the other day. They need to put their act together in this match & get back to winning track.
