PSL 10 - Quetta Gladiators
- Peshawar Zalmi
Defending Champions
Peshawar Zalmi walked into the 2018
tournament head held high and morales higher. After being defeated by debutants of the tournament, they fell hard.
They bounced back in style and outclassed Islamabad United by 34 runs. They
have still lost two out of three matches and must be worried today while facing
Quetta Gladiators.
Quetta Gladiators are
looking good, being second on the points table, with four points. They lost
only to Karachi Kings. They have defeated Lahore Qalandars and Islamabad
United.
This match will be a tricky
one. Both teams are fairly even except that the gladiators walk in with two
wins as opposed the defending champion’s
one. Peshawar has fallen short of all expectations and needs a mega-pick me up to
move forward.
Team Quetta Gladiators.
The bowlers have
contributed well so far and look to restrict the opponent to a low score on
board. Kevin Pietersen looks to be in form and is able to take the team to the
finishing line. He has company in M Nawaz and Asad Shafiq. Nawaz also took
wickets along with Jofra Archer’s three-wicket
haul. The team is strong and looking good. Add Shane Watson to the list and you
have a winning combination.

Team Peshawar Zalmi
The team needs to work on
their confidence. Their losses have taken them by surprise but their last
victory against Islamabad United should be a good boost. The team is not short
of talent, that’s for sure. Kamran Akmal. Tamim Iqbal. Dwayne Smith. M Hafeez.
Umaid Asif has taken a four-wicket haul
making him a match winner.
The batting department
needs to stand up to the Gladiator’s bowling. Both seam and spin. That would be
the key.
Key Players
Dwayne Smith
Kamran Akmal
