PSL 2022: Quetta Gladiators vs Islamabad United Match Prediction - Who will win today's PSL match?

Preview:

The Quetta Gladiators are all set to take on Islamabad United in the 10th game of the PSL 2022 edition at the National Stadium in Karachi and the match is expected to be a high-scoring game. The Islamabad United are coming off a thriller against the Multan Sultans in which they were short by 20 runs in a chase of 218 but have a lot of good signs moving forward. The top order and the middle order have shown good form and they will expect the bowlers to step up now.

Meanwhile, the Quetta Gladiators have won just one game against the Karachi Kings out of their three games so far and are coming off a defeat in the previous game to the Multan Sultans. Ahsan Ali has been batting well while Naseem Shah has already taken a five-wicket haul in the tournament. They will need to reorganize their plans with some important games coming ahead starting with this fixture.

QUE vs ISU Head to Head

Overall matches -13, Quetta Gladiators – 7, Islamabad United – 6

Probable Top Performers

Probable best batter of the match – Alex Hales

Alex Hales scored an unbeaten 82 in his first game against the Peshawar Zalmi and took his team over the line comfortably. He has shown that he possesses a wide range of shots and is a bankable option at the top of the order. He was in excellent touch in the previous game as well but one played shot too many and the scoreboard pressure got to him.

Probable best bowler of the match –  Shadab Khan

The Islamabad United skipper Shadab Khan was fantastic in the previous game against the Multan Sultans as he scored an unbeaten 91 off just 42 deliveries and almost pulled off an unbelievable victory. The leggie has taken just one wicket so far despite being on the economical side and he will be looking to take his confidence from batting into the bowling sector.
