ISL vs QUE Preview:
After a sluggish start to the season, Islamabad United (ISL) gradually found their rhythm towards the latter part of the group stage, clinching victories in 4 of their last 5 matches and securing the 3rd position on the points table.
The team boasts an impressive lineup of T20 batsmen, featuring stalwarts like Colin Munro, Alex Hales, Shadab Khan, and Agha Salman. Munro, especially, has been in stellar form, accumulating 309 runs at an impressive average of 34.33. With three half-centuries in his last six innings, he emerges as a vital figure at the top order.
Contributions from Agha Salman and Azam Khan in the middle order have been noteworthy. Shadab Khan has showcased his prowess as an all-rounder, amassing 278 runs and claiming 10 wickets, making him the joint-highest wicket-taker alongside Naseem Shah. Additionally, Imad Wasim’s ability to deliver powerful blows in the latter overs adds depth to the batting lineup.
Meanwhile, Quetta Gladiators (QUE) have grappled with inconsistency throughout the season but managed to secure a playoff spot. The opening partnership of Saud Shakeel and Jason Roy has been a consistent force, providing strong starts. However, the middle order’s erratic performances have proved costly in several matches.
Despite boasting prominent names like Sherfane Rutherford, Rilee Rossouw, and Khawaja Nafay, their performances have lacked consistency. On the bowling front, the spinners have fared relatively better, with Akeal Hosein and Abrar Ahmed collectively notching 28 wickets, pivotal for Quetta’s campaign.
Mohammad Amir and Mohammad Wasim Jr. have been crucial with the new ball, each securing 8 wickets, and will lead the bowling attack for Quetta.
ISL vs QUE Possible Playing XI:
Quetta Gladiators: Rilee Rossouw (c), Jason Roy, Saud Shakeel, Khawaja Nafay, Sarfaraz Ahmed (wk), Sherfane Rutherford, Akeal Hosein, Mohammad Wasim, Mohammad Amir, Mohammad Hasnain, Abrar Ahmed.
