Spin pair of Akeal Hosein and Abrar Ahmed have managed to pick up the most wickets for the Gladiators so far. In this pitch they will be playing the most important role from their team. 

Scenario: If Karachi Kings win the toss

Shoaib Malik (KAR): The Pakistani all-rounder has been in good form with the bat and decent with the ball. Shoaib Malik will be a perfect fit for this category.

Saud Shakeel (QUE): Saud Shakeel has amassed the second-most runs after Roy for the Gladiators. He has scored 164 runs in five innings but his consistency is a major concern. He is a risky but worthy pick for this category.
