Match Prediction
Islamabad United might look a stronger side on paper but they will be missing out on their integral batsman Paul Stirling who used to take full advantage of the powerplay. Islamabad is still a very good side with some notable names like Alex Hales, Shadab Khan, and Mohammad Wasim Jr.
The inclusion of Jason Roy proved to be a very wise decision for Quetta Gladiators. He scored a brilliant hundred in his first game of the PSL 7. The defeated chased down 204 against Lahore Qalandars comfortably at the end. Both teams are pretty balanced however Islamabad might come on top courtesy of their extra batting depth.
Prediction: Islamabad United to win.
