The 26th match of the Pakistan T20 League will see Islamabad United taking on Quetta Gladiators at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. This is a crucial match for both teams as they look to make strides towards the playoff spots in a competitive league. Islamabad United, with their depth in both batting and bowling, will be looking to maintain their momentum, while the Quetta Gladiators will be determined to get back to winning ways with their explosive batting line-up.


Islamabad United has been solid this season, with the likes of Rassie van der Dussen and Colin Munro in great form at the top. Their middle-order is packed with experience, and Shadab Khan brings both leadership and his all-round abilities to the side. Islamabad's bowling attack, led by Mohammad Nawaz and Jason Holder, will be crucial in stopping the free-flowing batsmen of Quetta.


On the other hand, Quetta Gladiators will depend on their top order to provide them with a strong foundation. Rilee Rossouw and Mark Chapman are the key players, capable of anchoring the innings or accelerating when needed. Quetta’s bowling attack, including Mohammad Amir and Faheem Ashraf, will need to fire in order to defend any totals put up by their batting unit.


This encounter promises to be an exciting one, and with the high stakes involved, both teams will be giving it their all. Stay updated with the IslamU vs QueGla Live Score for real-time match details.

Pace vs Spin on Venue

(Last 10 match)

The Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium has traditionally offered a balanced pitch, with something for both the batsmen and the bowlers. The surface tends to favor the batsmen early on, as the ball comes nicely onto the bat, making it ideal for stroke play. As the match progresses, spinners may start to get some assistance, and the pacers might find more bounce. Dew can also be a factor in the second innings, so teams may prefer chasing totals. Overall, the pitch should provide an exciting contest between bat and ball.
