Martin Guptill vs Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Check PSL 8 13th Match QUE vs ISL Dream11 Fantasy Team, C-VC Options Here

Bottom-placed Quetta Gladiators are set to take on formidable Islamabad United in the 13th match of the Pakistan Super League 2023. 

QUE vs ISL: Match Preview:

Quetta Gladiators are currently placed at the bottom of the points table with only 1 win in 4 matches along with a very low net run rate of -1.635. Martin Guptill has been their top scorer with 151 runs in 4 matches, off which 117 runs came in a single match, which was also Quetta Gladiators' first and only win till now in the PSL 8. Jason Roy (89 runs), Iftikhar Ahmed (88 runs) and captain Sarfaraz Ahmed have failed to be consistent in their run so far. 

The bowling has struggled as well. Pacer Mohammad Hasnain stood up in a match with his 3 wickets, but apart from him none of the other bowlers have managed to pick more than 2 wickets in a single game. Hasnain has 5 wickets while spinners Qais Ahmed and Mohammad Nawaz have 4 and 3 wickets in the tournament. Naseem Shah is unexpectedly lagging behind with only 2 wickets despite putting up good performances.

Islamabad United on the other hand won 2 out of their 3 matches and are coming in from a dominant win against Peshawar Zalmi. South African batter Rassie van der Dussen has been the team's top scorer with 122 runs in 3 matches. However, Rahmanullah Gurbaz smacked 62 runs in the last match after missing the first two matches and his inclusion will give a massive boost to the Islamabad United batting lineup.

Islamabad United included a match-winner in the bowling unit, as well as Hasan Ali, who stepped up in his first match of PSL 8, picking up 3 wickets and winning the Player of the Match award despite Gurbaz's knock. Rumman Raees has shown good bowling and has 4 wickets in 3 matches. Captain Shadab Khan has picked up only 2 wickets in 3 matches and would look to contribute more with the bowl.
