PSL 2024: Top run-getters and wicket-takers after Islamabad United vs Quetta Gladiators (Updated) ft. Agha Salman and Abrar Ahmed

Islamabad United and Quetta Gladiators locked horns against each other in the 8th match of the Pakistan Super League (PSL). The Gladiators continued their winning march, registering a hattrick of wins in as many outings after opting to field first.

Islamabad United started off well, batting first, with their top three doing well. At one stage, their score was 72 in the ninth over, but they kept losing wickets at regular intervals and could never recover at all.

Agha Salman was the top scorer for Islamabad United, scoring 33 runs off 23 balls, but they could only post 138 runs for the loss of nine wickets after 20 overs. Abrar Ahmed and Mohammad Wasim Jr picked up three wickets each to restrict the opposition.

In response, the Gladiators stayed ahead in the chase thanks to Jason Roy’s blitzkrieg of 37 runs off 18 balls. A quick fall of wickets led to the Quetta side reeling at 54/4 at one stage, but then the skipper, Rilee Rossouw, made sure to stick around, anchoring the innings in the chase.

Even though the Gladiators lost a few quick wickets at the back end of the chase, Rossouw stayed firm to make sure they got over the line with three wickets in hand.
