In the twenty-first league match of the current PSL 2023, bottom-dwellers Quetta Gladiators (QG) and Islamabad United (IU) will square off. The game will take place on Sunday, March 5, at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. Islamabad, led by Shadab Khan, is presently third in the standings and enters this match fresh off a spectacular victory against the Karachi Kings.
The Quetta Gladiators, their rivals, have suffered four straight defeats, the most recent of which was against the league leaders Lahore Qalandars. They have only secured one victory in the competition thus far, so they will need to play at the top of their game if they want to defeat their opponents in the forthcoming match.

Pitch Report:
In the previous game played here, the chasing team very easily overcame a target of more than 200. The location features one of the top-hitting surfaces in the nation, so the upcoming game is probably going to be another high-scoring contest. In this venue, the team that wins the toss will likely choose to bowl first.
Probable Playing XI:
Islamabad United (IU):
Shadab Khan (C), Colin Munro, Alex Hales, Rassie van der Dussen, Asif Ali, Faheem Ashraf, Hasan Ali, Mubasir Khan, Rumman Raees, Azam Khan (WK), Tom Curran

Probable Best Performers
Probable best batter:
Azam Khan:
Despite being surrounded by world-class athletes like Colin Munro, Alex Hales, and Rassie van der Dussen this season, the 24-year-old has stood for Islamabad. The dynamic batter has a remarkable strike rate of 175.36 and has scored 242 runs in his first six at-bats. He now ranks third in the competition in terms of runs scored, and he plans to increase that total in the following game.
Hasan Ali:
The Pakistani bowler has been a crucial component of Islamabad United’s bowling attack despite his less-than-ideal performance with the ball in his previous appearance. The 28-year-old has taken wickets in only four appearances so far, and he will be hoping to continue his fine run in the forthcoming game.
