We are posting safe, accurate, and secure today match prediction for all matches of PSL free.

After winning two matches in a row, Islamabad United lost their third match against Peshawar Zalmi by the margin of six wickets. We observed the change in the behavior of the pitch as that was a low-scoring match. The batting order of Islamabad United almost collapsed after having an outstanding performance in the previous matches. Alex Hales was the only successful batsman from the United side who put some runs on the board. He scored 41 runs on just 27 deliveries with the help of five boundaries and one-six. Hussain Talat and Asif Ali also put some runs on the board but no other batsmen from their side could put some runs on the board. Eight batsmen from the United side failed to even enter into double-figure. We are not saying that the batting order of the United is weak but they have to prove in this match.

The bowling department of Islamabad United is not much strong as compared to the other teams of this tournament. We also had observed this in the previous matches of this team. Hassan Ali is the leading bowler of United but he had failed to provide an early breakthrough. Mohammad Wasim Jr is had performed well in almost all matches. He had been the most economical bowler for United but had failed to pick wickets. The performance of Faheem Ashraf also had been average when it comes to bowling. Fawad Ahmed had been the expensive bowler but he had picked wickets in the middle overs which is a good sign for the United. Iftikhar Ahmed is available as a bowling choice for Islamabad United but he had not tested in previous matches. The skipper, Shadab Khan had almost failed to perform well in batting and even in bowling. He needs to improve his skills to play a key role in the team.

Three losses in three matches had put Quetta Gladiators at the bottom of the points table of season six of the Pakistan Super League. We can’t say that this team had totally flopped in this tournament. They had performed well in almost all matches but had failed to get over the line as we observed in their most recent match against Peshawar Zalmi. The batting order of Quetta Gladiators was strong even Chris Gayle left the team. The addition of FAF du Plessis had added extra strength in the batting order of Gladiators. The skipper, Sarfraz Ahmed had got his good form back and now, he is scoring runs consecutively. Azam Khan had shown power-hitting in the previous matches and he smashed the third-highest six of the history of PSL T20 in the last match against Zalmi. Cameron Delport, Ben Cutting, and Mohammad Nawaz can also bat well in the middle and last overs.

The major issue of the Quetta Gladiators is their bowling. They had destroyed the efforts of the batting order and are the key reasons for losing almost all matches. Dale Steyn had added some potential in the bowling depart but they once again failed to get their team over the line. They could win the previous match easily but they leaked 41 runs in the last three overs which shows how the bowling unit of the Gladiators is weak and also under pressure. Mohammad Hasnain is the only bowler from their side who had to give a performance in almost all matches. Usman Shinwari had totally failed to perform well in almost all previously played matches. He leaked almost 50 runs in four overs. Mohammad Nawaz, Zahid Mahmood, and Ben Cutting are the players who need to improve their skills and performances. We had mentioned that the batting order of Quetta Gladiators is a strong and performing team but now, the turn of the bowling unit gives their 100% performance and gets their team over the line.

Islamabad United had faced Quetta Gladiators in 11 matches where they won four matches while Quetta Gladiators had won seven matches.

According to our toss prediction, the team who will win the toss may choose to field first.

The 12th Match of Pakistan Super League season 2021 is scheduled to be held at National Stadium, Karachi. The pitch here at this venue is flat good for batting as there is no bounce and pace.
