Quetta Gladiators and Islamabad United are set to entertain fans in Match no.  13 of the ongoing edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) on Friday, February 24, 2023, at the National Stadium in Karachi. The game is scheduled to begin at 19.30 PM (IST) and 19.00 PM (local time). Both teams will meet again in Match no. 21 on March 5 at the Pindi Club Ground in Rawalpindi.

The Sarfaraz Ahmed-led have made a poor start in this campaign as they have played four matches with just a solitary victory and three losses. They began the season with a defeat at the hands of Multan Sultans by nine wickets before Martin Guptill's blazing ton helped them in winning against the Karachi Kings by six runs in their next outing. The team then lost two games in a row against Peshawar Zalmi (by 4 wickets) and against Lahore Qalandars (by 63 runs). With just 2 points and a net run rate of -1.635, they are languishing at the bottom of the table in the sixth position.

QUE vs ISL, Match 13: Top Five Picks 

  1. Martin Guptill (QUE): New Zealand's destructive right-handed opener Martin Guptill is leading the batting charts for Quetta Gladiators. He is averaging 37.75 with one century to his name in four innings.
  2. Jason Roy (QUE): England top-order batter, Jason Roy batted at no. 3 in the last game against Lahore Qalandars and smashed 48 off 30 with 1 four and 5 maximums. He is averaging only 22.25 in 4 matches so far but looked to get back in rhythm against Lahore and should be a good pick for this fixture.
  3. Mohammad Hasnain (QUE): Speedster Mohammad Hasnain is the leading wicket-taker for the Gladiators this campaign. The young 22-year old seamer has been amongst the wickets in all the last 3 matches for his side and would look to continue doing so in this contest.
  4. Colin Munro (ISL): Left-handed batter, Colin Munro has racked up the most runs for Islamabad United in the 2 games so far in PSL 8. The swashbuckling batter looks a safe bet for the fixture against the Gladiators.
  5. Azam Khan (ISL): Hard-hitting wicketkeeper batter Azam Khan is averaging 30.00 in 2 outings for his team this season. The right-handed middle-order player is an exciting talent and should be picked for this game.
