Barring their win against the winless Hyderabad Kingsmen, last season’s finalists Quetta Gladiators have largely been unimpressive this year. They have lost three out of their four games, with the latest coming against the table-toppers Multan Sultans. Would playing against another lower-ranked team, Rawalpindiz, help them regain their form?
Rawalpindiz, while having no wins so far, would take some confidence from their last fixture against Peshawar Zalmi. Defending 146, they took the game to the last ball. Can they bring the same form against Quetta, who might be a comparatively less daunting opponent?
Head-to-Head Matches:
This will be the first game played between Quetta Gladiators and debutant franchise Rawalpindiz.
Probable Playing XI:
Rawalpindiz:
Mohammad Rizwan (c & wk), Abdullah Fazal, Kamran Ghulam, Saad Masood, Sam Billings, Daryl Mitchell, Dian Forrester, Rishad Hossain, Ben Sears, Mohammad Amir, Mohammad Amir Khan.
