PSL 8: Quetta Gladiators lock horns with Islamabad United in 13th PSL clash

  • Friday's match will start at 7pm at the National Stadium in Karachi
  • Gladiators haven’t been able to lay a solid foundation at start of their campaign

ISLAMABAD: The Sarfraz Ahmed-led Quetta Gladiators will lock horns with Islamabad United in the 13th match of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 8th edition in Karachi today, Friday.

Gladiators are ranked 6th on the points table, while Islamabad United led by Shadab Khan is at number two.

So far, the Gladiators have not been able to set a solid foundation to their campaign and only won one of four matches they have played. Analysts say their batters need to step up and focus on staying out at the crease for long.

The Gladiators' last match was on Feb. 21 when Lahore Qalandars defeated them with a brilliant all-round performance, taking the opponents down by 63 runs.  

Islamabad United’s last contest was on Thursday, when they cruised to yet another victory over Peshawar Zalmi by six wickets and 31 balls to spare.

Friday's match between Gladiators and Islamabad will begin at 7pm Pakistan standard time at the National Stadium in Karachi.
