Islambad United vs Quetta gladiators

Greetings to all INDFAM family,

Today I want to discuss on the top performance by islambad United vs Quetta gladiators. ............... Right then, that is it from Eliminator 1 of the ongoing PSL 2024 with Islamabad United outclassing Quetta Gladiators and winning this by 39 runs. Islamabad United now march on to play Eliminator 2 against Peshawar Zalmi on 16th March. 

Shadab Khan the captain of Islamabad United says they lost some momentum at halfway and despite them not playing a perfect game until here, they are heading to Eliminator 2. Adds that the pitch looked good and that's why they wanted to bat first. Mentions that they have the winning momentum and hopefully it stays for the next two games. Concludes that they will need to capitalize on the starts they get and there are so many mistakes to learn from.

Imad Wasim is the player of the match for his outstanding spell with the ball picking up 3 wickets for just 12 runs. He is up for a quick chat and says they saw that the ball was holding a bit and spinning early on and that helped him. Adds that early wickets were key and slower ball was the go-to ball today and not the arm delivery. Mentions that they did both things well by scoring a good total and restricting them well within.

The bowling from Islamabad United was spot on as they executed their plans to perfection and managed to break the backbone of the Quetta Gladiators with wickets right at the top. Imad Wasim bowled three inside the powerplay and was exceptional while Naseem Shah too bowled a couple right at the top and removed Jason Roy nice and early. Imad Wasim was the pick of the bowlers for his spell of 4 overs giving away just 12 off it and picking up 3 key wickets. Naseem Shah ended up with a couple to his name while, Obed McCoy, Hunain Shah and Faheem Ashraf got into the wickets column as well.

A tremendous spell from Imad Wasim right at the top was too hot to handle for Quetta Gladiators as they fell short by 39 runs in the 1st Eliminator and are now knocked out of the tournament. Islamabad United will have another bite at the cherry with them advancing to the 2nd Eliminator.
