Islamabad United (Match Odds- 1.85)
Preview
Islamabad United faced Multan Sultans and, despite their unexpected victory over the 2022 and 2023 Champions Lahore Qalandars in Match 1, were unable to make it two wins from two. They may, however, carry a lot of positives into this game, since they were only defeated by 5 wickets with 1 ball left to play.
Against the Sultans, Jordan Cox showed promise at the plate, and Agha Salman has been an absolute force at number three. They have a really strong hitting lineup. We anticipate that Tymal Mills, Naseem Shah, and Shadab Khan will pose the most dangers with the ball.

As the temperature drops from 19 to 15 degrees throughout this match, it won’t be the warmest game of the competition. Pakistan has traditionally struggled with humidity, and this game won’t be any different, especially in the second innings.
Quetta Gladiators vs Islamabad United Match Report:
It wouldn’t be shocking to see the Quetta Gladiators win another game to make it three from three since they have proven to be too powerful for both of their opponents thus far in this league. Nevertheless, Islamabad United will enjoy their chances because they are a different team than they were the previous year. All things considered, we are supporting Quetta Gladiators to win again.
