Quetta's win keeps them at the top of the table. That's all from this contest. The next Pakistan Super League match features Peshawar Zalmi vs Karachi Kings on May 8, 2025, at 3 pm GMT. Until next time, cheers!
Rilee Rossouw is the Player Of The Match.
Earlier in the game, Quetta Gladiators batted aggressively from the start, with Saud Shakeel setting the tone. Rilee Rossouw and Hasan Nawaz were in lethal form, scoring centuries and propelling Quetta to a commanding total. Islamabad's bowlers struggled to contain them, conceding runs freely with all going over 10 runs per over.
Mohammad Amir set the tone for Quetta's bowling attack, dismissing Islamabad's openers in the first over and finishing with three wickets, having bowled just 2 overs. Every Quetta Gladiators bowler performed brilliantly, sticking to their lines and lengths, and their efforts paid off in the end. This win keeps Quetta at the top of the table.
Despite some resistance from Muhammad Shahzad, who scored 24, Ben Dwarshuis and Imad Wasim, who scored 31 and 56 respectively, Islamabad's batting lineup failed to recover. The team's innings continued to unravel, leading to a significant defeat. Quetta's bowlers were instrumental in the win, with their disciplined performance yielding excellent results.
Quetta Gladiators emerged victorious in a one-sided affair, winning by a massive margin of 109 runs. Islamabad United's chase of over 260 was derailed early, as they slumped to 53/5 in the first six overs. Disciplined bowling and sharp fielding efforts, particularly from Mohammad Wasim, broke the backbone of Islamabad's chase.

No run, the batter looks to play that but is comprehensively beaten.
