Islamabad United vs Quetta Gladiators Chance of Winning
The two teams enter the knockout stage with completely contrasting form. While Quetta Gladiators have lost three out of their last four games, Islamabad United have won three in the same number of games. Quetta started the season like a house on fire winning four out of their first five games. However, once their game against Islamabad was washed out due to rain, they went on a slump losing to Multan, Karachi and Peshawar. The only win that they have been able to muster was against the struggling Lahore Qalandars, who had just one win in ten games.
Islamabad United, on the other hand, started off with a win against Lahore in their first game but were in for a rough ride after that. Multan, Quetta and Peshawar handed them three losses in a row to leave their season hanging by a thread. With the game against Quetta called off due to rains, they needed a great run to make it into the playoffs. And they got just that as they won three out of four games to finish third on the table. They did have one black mark on their resume as being the only team to lose to Lahore in the 2024 edition of the PSL.
But one cannot discount Islamabad’s form coming into this game and they will fancy their chances against Quetta.
Islamabad United's chance of winning: 69%
Quetta Gladiators' chance of winning: 31%

Islamabad United vs Quetta Gladiators Betting Tips
Quetta Gladiators to have a higher opening partnership (1.97@Parimatch)
Quetta have had a higher opening partnership than their opponents in six out of the nine matches played this season while Islamabad have been able to outscore their opponents in this market just twice. In Munro and Hales, Islamabad have two hard hitting openers and they have not been able to build too many long stands together. They have had only one half century stand in the tournament while Quetta were able to do it thrice. Quetta have the advantage of an anchor at the top of the order in Saud Shakeel which gives them a great chance of going over the number. At odds of 1.97, this is one the best markets available for this game and had a very high chance of paying the punter off.

Islamabad United Team Form
Every team in the PSL would be envious of Islamabad’s form right now. Out of the last five games, they have had one game abandoned while three have resulted in wins. The only loss came against a hapless Lahore which in all probability cost Islamabad a top two finish.

Quetta Gladiators Team Form
They will need to find a solution to winning games quickly because they will not get another chance. Having lost three in four is a set template for teams to go out of the playoffs in the first game. They can take some solace from the fact that they did beat Islamabad earlier in the season, but this is a new team that they will be up against.
Islamabad United vs Quetta Gladiators Head-to-Head Record
The two teams have squared off 19 times in the past with each winning nine games. The only no result took place this season when the Rawalpindi game had to be called off due to bad weather conditions.
Islamabad United Won: 9
Quetta Gladiators Won: 9
No Result/ Abandoned: 1
Islamabad United vs Quetta Gladiators Betting Odds
Quetta have not had the best starts to games, barring a couple of matches early on in the season. They average a low 76.2 in 10 overs over the last five games. In the last two games in Karachi, that number dropped to 72.5. As such when Parimatch offers a market with under 82.5 in 10 overs with odds of 1.75, that is a punt worth taking.
While Islamabad do not have great opening partnerships owing to the attacking intent of their openers, they do have very good powerplay scores. In the match against Quetta in Lahore, they scored an impressive 60 in the powerplay. In the only game that they have played in Karachi this season, they managed to accumulate 58 runs. At odds of 1.88, this is a fairly easy pick for us to have Islamabad outscore Quetta in six overs.

Islamabad United vs Quetta Gladiators Top Batters
Colin Munro to be the top batter for Islamabad United
When you score over 309 runs in nine matches, you deserve to get picked as the top batter. He had a 20 when the two teams played this season. Since then he has been pretty consistent for Islamabad and is likely to have a good outing on the flat Karachi surface.
Saud Shakeel to be the top batter for Quetta Gladiators
Saud Shakeel has been the standout player for the Quetta Gladiators in the 2024 PSL. He has amassed 323 runs in nine innings at an average of 40.37. The next best batter is Jason Roy with 262 runs. So when we say he is going to be the top batter, you can take that to the bank.
Islamabad United vs Quetta Gladiators Top Bowlers
Naseem Shah to be the top bowler for Islamabad United
This was a close call between Shadab Khan and Naseem Shah and we have opted for the latter. The reason for that is that even though both have 10 wickets, Naseem has done it in one lesser game. With the pressure of a knockout, batters will have to take a risk against the pacers and he is more likely to walk away with wickets.
Abrar Ahmed to be the top bowler for Quetta Gladiators
Abrar Ahmed has been one of the standout bowlers in the PSL this season. The 25 year old has claimed 15 wickets in nine matches at a strike rate of 14.4. While Akeal Hossain has two wickets lesser than him, Abrar is the star of the show as far as Quetta’s bowling unit is concerned.
