QG vs IU Team Previews

Quetta Gladiators

After a sedate start to their campaign, the Quetta Gladiators have peaked in form just at the right time and are undefeated in their last 7 matches. As a result, they finished at the top of the table and have managed to reach the playoffs for the second time in a row.

The Gladiators are likely to continue with the opening pair of Saud Shakeel and Khawaja Nafay in this match as well. Nafay was in excellent form in the previous match as he scored a brisk half-century in the previous match. The middle order has some quality batsmen like Dinesh Chandimal, Avishkar Fernando, and Hasan Nawaz.

Nawaz has been in red-hot form and is the leading run-scorer for his team. The Quetta Gladiators also have a couple of quality all-rounders in Danish Aziz and Faheem Ashraf, who add depth to the batting.

The Gladiators also have a strong pace attack that is made up of Khurram Shahzad, Mohammad Wasim, and Faheem Ashraf. Abrar Ahmed, who is the team’s leading wicket-taker with 15 wickets, will lead the spin department.

Quetta Gladiators Expected Playing 11

Saud Shakeel (C), Khawaja Nafay, Avishkar Fernando, Dinesh Chandimal (WK), Hasan Nawaz, Danish Aziz, Faheem Ashraf, Mohammad Wasim, Abrar Ahmed, Khurram Shahzad, Usman Tariq

Islamabad United

After a string of losses, Islamabad United managed to turn things around on Monday as they defeated the Karachi Kings in a one-sided game. The huge win provided a massive boost to their NRR, allowing them to qualify as the second-placed team on the table.

Sahibzada Farhan has been in red-hot form with the bat for Islamabad. He scored his 3rd half-century of the season on Monday and is the leading run-scorer of the tournament so far. He will be joined by Alex Hales in the opening slot.

The middle order has some big strikers of the ball, like Rassie van der Dussen and Salman Agha, while all-rounders Shadab Khan, Imad Wasim, and Haider Ali add depth to the batting. Wasim and Shadab have been pretty consistent with the ball as well, picking up 25 wickets between them.

Salman Irshad has bowled a couple of good spells with the new ball and will join Tymal Mills and Ben Dwarshuis in the pace department.

Islamabad United Expected Playing 11

QG vs IU Toss Prediction

In 6 of the last 10 matches played here, the team batting second won the match, while four matches were won while chasing. In 8 of those matches, the team winning the toss opted to field first, and we expect that trend to continue.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

The pitch at the Gaddafi Stadium is likely to be balanced, and we can expect a close contest between the bat and the ball. The surface has an even covering of grass, and the quicker bowlers can expect some movement off the seam as well as some swing.

However, once the batsmen settle down, playing shots will get easier. A score of around 170-180 is a par score on this ground.

The pitch does get slightly better to bat as the game progresses. The spinners are likely to have a tough time. The weather is likely to remain warm with temperatures over 32 degrees.

QG vs IU: Who Will Win?

We are backing the Quetta Gladiators to win this match. They have been in excellent form over the last couple of weeks and were one of the first teams to qualify for the playoffs. Rather than depending on any individual, they have performed well as a team and look strong in all departments. Bet on Quetta Gladiators to win.

QG vs IU win percentage stands at 50% in favor of QG.
