Pre-Match Analysis:
Islamabad United wind up their league campaign with a pulsating 3 wickets win over Multan Sultans on Sunday. They chased the monumental target of 228 on the final delivery to finish 3rd in the standings with 11 points. A good blend 141-run partnership for the 3rd wicket between Colin Munro and Shadab Khan brought them back to the winning line and the finishing touches from all-rounders Faheem Ashraf and Imad Wasim steered them to a famous victory. They had hiccups early on in the tournament where at one point they had managed only one win from the first 4 matches but played to their strength in the second half to reach the Playoffs. Colin Munro is their best performer with the bat, with 309 runs in 9 matches and it’s the absolute all-round brilliance of skipper Shadab Khan turned out to be a massive hit this season as the skipper struck 278 runs and picked up 10 wickets.
Quetta Gladiators finished their league journey on a disappointing note, suffering a massive 79-run loss at the hands of Multan Sultans. They had an opportunity to finish in the top 2 spots but 3 losses in the last 4 matches meant they had to settle for the 4th spot with 11 points. Gladiators carry good memories into this fixture as they had beaten Islamabad United early in the tournament by 3 wickets while the other game was washed out. Their major strength lies in their top-order batting with their openers Saud Shakeel and Jason Roy, scoring 323 and 252 runs respectively in this edition. Keep an eye on their spinner Abrar Ahmed who has taken 15 scalps, most for the side this year.
