IU vs QG Team Previews

Islamabad United

Islamabad United will enter the return clash against Quetta Gladiators with both a sense of urgency and unfinished business. Having started PSL 2025 with a five-match winning streak, their campaign has unexpectedly derailed with three consecutive losses—the latest, a heartbreaker against the Gladiators.

United had their chances in Lahore but squandered them, particularly with three dropped catches in the final over that allowed Hasan Nawaz to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. Despite the result, United found positives in Faheem Ashraf’s incisive 4-wicket haul and Mohammad Nawaz’s explosive 49, which pulled them from 91 for 6 to a defendable 157.

As the playoff race tightens, a win here would not only secure qualification but also restore momentum and belief. Expect tactical tweaks and a sharper fielding unit this time around. With experienced heads and firepower throughout the lineup, United will be desperate to turn the tide.

A cleaner display in the clutch moments could be all they need to reassert their authority at the top of the table.

Islamabad United Expected Playing 11

Sahibzada Farhan, Kyle Mayers, Colin Munro, Salman Agha (c), Andries Gous (wk), Mohammad Nawaz, Muhammad Shahzad, Haider Ali, Jason Holder, Naseem Shah, Faheem Ashraf

Quetta Gladiators

Riding high after a thrilling last-over win, Quetta Gladiators will look to do the double over Islamabad United and consolidate their place atop the PSL 2025 standings. Their tense two-wicket victory in Lahore was a test of nerve, resolve, and Hasan Nawaz’s composure under fire. His unbeaten 64 from 41 balls was a mature, match-winning knock, blending aggression with calm in a faltering chase.

Supported by an early blitz from Finn Allen and steady contributions despite a mid-innings collapse, Gladiators ultimately held their nerve—helped in no small part by United’s fielding errors. With momentum now on their side and their net run rate boosted, Quetta will be keen to tighten their grip on a top-two finish.

Naseem Shah's new-ball burst was a standout, and their bowlers generally kept United under wraps until the final overs. However, lapses in the middle order remain a concern. Heading into the return fixture, they’ll need a more clinical finish with the bat.

Still, with a resurgent squad and a well-balanced XI, Gladiators have every reason to feel confident.

Quetta Gladiators Expected Playing 11

Saud Shakeel (c), Finn Allen, Rilee Rossouw, Hasan Nawaz, Mark Chapman, Haseebullah Khan (wk), Faheem Ashraf, Kyle Jamieson, Mohammad Wasim, Abrar Ahmed, Naseem Shah

IU vs QG Toss Prediction

The team that wins the toss is likely to want to field first. Chasing has been the way to go in the PSL so far and we expect the captains to do the same.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

The upcoming PSL 2025 clash between Islamabad United and Quetta Gladiators at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium promises high-scoring action. The pitch is renowned for its batting-friendly nature, offering even bounce and consistent pace, enabling batters to play their shots freely. While pacers might find some assistance early on, spinners could become effective as the match progresses, especially in the middle overs. Historically, teams chasing have had more success here, so the toss-winning captain might prefer to field first.

Weather-wise, Rawalpindi is experiencing a heatwave, with temperatures soaring to 48-49°C in some regions.

In summary, expect a batting-friendly pitch with potential assistance for spinners later in the game, and be prepared for possible weather interruptions due to the forecasted thunderstorms.

IU vs QG: Who Will Win?

We think backing the form team makes sense. Quetta Gladiators have shown that they are genuine title contenders this season and are peaking at the right time. Islamabad United has, unfortunately, lost form at the wrong time and could end up paying a heavy price.

IU vs QG win percentage stands at 51% in favor of QG.
