Pakistan Super League 2024 is witnessing games come thick and fast as we are already into the third round. The eighth game of the tournament will pit Islamabad United taking on the Quetta Gladiators. It is an important match for both teams who have a different set of goals in mind.
Islamabad United (ISL) began the season with a win over the defending champions Lahore Qalandars. In their 2nd game, Shadab Khan and his side were beaten by Multan Sultans in a low-scoring contest. It will be a huge test for Islamabad United as they are up against an in-from of Quetta side.
Quetta Gladiators (QUE) along with Multan Sultans are the only two teams to stay unbeaten during PSL 2024. The gladiators would want to keep this run going as they take on Islamabad United. The batting prowess and the bowling acumen of Quetta have been really good this year. By this virtue, they have become one of the earliest pacesetters this season.
