Who will win Islamabad United vs Quetta Gladiators PSL 2017?

The 7th fixture of the ongoing Pakistan Super League 2017 will see Islamabad United take on Quetta Gladiators at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium. The match is scheduled to be played on February 15 and live action will begin at 8 PM local time.

Toss Prediction

The inaugural edition saw the wicket at Sharjah become relatively easier for batting during the second period of play. Since four of the last five T20s at this ground have been won by the side batting second, the team that wins the toss is more likely to bat second. Islamabad United won both their matches here last year while chasing and so we suggest betting on them if they bat second.

Islamabad United

Team News

Sharjeel Khan and Khalid Latif have been provisionally suspended from the by the PCB. Rafatullah Mohmand has been named as one of the replacements on account of his consistent performance in the domestic circuit.

Key Players

Dwayne Smith, Brad Haddin and Misbah-ul-Haq have all hit a fifty each this season and Islamabad will want one of them to score big against the Gladiators. Mohammad Sami has taken 15 wickets from 9 PSL matches and is one of the leading wicket-takers of the tournament. The seamer has picked up three wickets already this year and we predict him to be the top-bowler for his side in this match.

Recent Form

The defending champions began their campaign with a comfortable seven-wicket win over Peshawar Zalmi in the opening match of the season. But their joy of winning six matches in a row was cut short as they suffered a six-wicket loss at the hands of Lahore Qalandars in the next match.

Islamabad United Predicted Playing 11

DR Smith, SW Billings, BJ Haddin (wk), Misbah-ul-Haq (c), SR Watson, Asif Ali, Shadab Khan, Mohammad Sami, Saeed Ajmal, Rumman Raees, Imran Khalid.

Quetta Gladiators

Team News

There are no records of any injury to any of the players and the selectors are unlikely to make changes to the playing eleven for this upcoming match.

Key Players

Rilee Rossouw has been very impressive with the bat having scored 60 and an unbeaten 76 in the two matches so far. Ahmed Shehzad has scored the most runs for Quetta Gladiators in the PSL and the team will have huge expectations from him as well. We however predict the in-form Rossouw to keep up the good work. Mohammad Nawaz is currently the third-highest wicket-taker in the tournament and he could have the batsmen in trouble with his spin bowling.

Recent Form

Quetta Gladiators have made a strong start to the season with wins in their first two matches. They first pipped Lahore Qalandars in the first game before outplaying Karachi Kings in the second. With four points in their kitty, they are currently placed second on the points table below Peshawar Zalmi.

Quetta Gladiators Predicted Playing 11

Asad Shafiq, Ahmed Shehzad, KP Pietersen, RR Rossouw, Sarfraz Ahmed (c/wk), Mohammad Nawaz (3), NLTC Perera, Hasan Khan, Anwar Ali, TS Mills, Zulfiqar Babar.

Islamabad United and Quetta Gladiators have been head-to-head three times in the past. While the Gladiators emerged victors on the first two occasions, the United won the third and the most recent encounter. The two teams have faced each other once at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium with Quetta Gladiators winning that match by seven wickets.
