The Pakistan Super League(PSL) 2024 is living up to the expectations of the cricketing fans. It is still early doors into the league though and there is still a long way to go before the top 4 are confirmed. This will be the 8th match of the league at the iconic Gaddafi stadium in Lahore. The Islamabad United will be taking on the Quetta Gladiators in this game. The Gladiators are right now on a roll after winning their first two games in the league early on and the Islamabad United journey is still in the balance.
The Gladiators with their newly appointed skipper in Rilee Rossouw have had two successful games so far. They have beaten the Peshawar Zalmi and the defending champions Lahore Qalandars in their first two encounters convincingly. On the other hand, the United had impressed everyone in the opening game, but still had to face a heartbreaking low-scoring thriller with Multan Sultans. It will be interesting to see if the Gladiators continue their good run or if Islamabad United can come back from the last game.

Pitch report
The Gaddafi has been a chasing ground and so far, has lived up to its potential. This has been a ground where the batters have just enjoyed their time batting in these friendly conditions. Even scores over 190 were chased down in the last few games played at this venue. It is a wicket where the team will be more comfortable bowling first and if not, the batting team will have to set a big total on the board.
