Quetta Gladiators beat Islamabad United by 3 wickets

    Rilee Rossouw
    34(38)
Right then, that is it from this game and we still have a couple of unbeaten sides in PSL 2024 as Quetta Gladiators join Multan Sultan with three wins out of three. Speaking of Multan, the next game of the competition is between Multan Sultan and Peshawar Zalmi in Multan and will be played on Friday, 23 February. That game will begin at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT) but you can join us a lot sooner for the build-up. Till then, take care and goodbye!
Quetta Gladiators skipper, Rilee Rossouw is the Player of the Match for his anchoring knock and he also took a couple of catches. He says they got the 'W' which is the most important thing. Adds that they thought it was going to be a high-scoring game but summed up the conditions well with the ball and knew it wouldn't be easy to bat. States that he is enjoying leading the side and it is bringing out the best of him too. Concludes that they spoke about the wicket mid-innings and mentioned that they would need to build a strong partnership to win the game and did so.
The Presentation ceremony...
Shadab Khan, the captain of Islamabad United says that there was a lapse in the technology as they were shown a different ball and that LBW decision could have been a pivotal moment. Reckons that they were 10-15 runs short with the bat and adds that it didn't turn much and they need to take more responsibility with the bat. On the three Shah brothers, he says that he hasn't seen this much talent in one household and commends Hunain Shah for the way he bowled. Ends by saying that they need to stay positive and make sure small mistakes don't happen.
Jason Roy joins in for a quick chat. He says they bowled exceptionally well to restrict them to below par total but the loss of a few wickets made it a bit tricky and Rilee did well to take them home. Further adds that he looks to score bigger and finish games for the side and is happy to have three wins on a trot. Mentions that the ball was coming nice initially but was dying down later as it got old. Concludes that they are keeping it nice and simple and the atmosphere in the camp is nice with Shane Watson around.
Earlier in the game, Quetta Gladiators won the toss and Rilee Rossouw put the opposition into bat first it backfired as Islamabad United were able to get quick runs and were flying at 60/1 at the end of the Powerplay. However, once the top three batters fell, the innings crumbled and it required a couple of decent knocks from Jordan Cox and Faheem Ashraf toward the end to take them close to the 140-run mark. With the ball, Quetta Gladiators were brilliant as the spin duo of Akeal Hosein and Abrar Ahmed picked up 5 wickets in between them and Mohammad Wasim bowled a superb spell as well, picking up 3 wickets. Quetta Gladiators need a couple of decent knocks and they got just that as the skipper Rilee Rossouw took them to a third consecutive win.
Islamabad United did the best they could with the ball in hand but towards the end, they would have felt like they could have even snatched the game away from the opposition. Naseem Shah got his side an early breakthrough but they couldn't capitalize on it and then the likes of Hunain Shah and Rumman Raees pulled things back a bit. They did get wickets but one good stand between Sherfane Rutherford and Rilee Rossouw broke the back of the chase and even after picking up a plethora of wickets toward the end, Islamabad United just didn't have enough runs to play with.
A low-scoring thriller in Lahore but in the end, it is Quetta Gladiators who have made it three wins out of three to start off their PSL 2024 campaign. Both teams almost threw it away with the bat, well Islamabad United certainly did and Quetta Gladiators eventually managed to get the win thanks to a superb captain's knock by Rilee Rossouw and that cameo right at the end by Mohammad Amir. The target was not a big one at all for Quetta to chase down and after an early loss of wicket, Jason Roy started to fire but they lost a couple of more wickets in quick succession. It was then a steady stand between the skipper and Sherfane Rutherford that got Quetta back on track but with not many runs needed, wickets started to fall and Rilee Rossouw was left stranded at one end. Mohammad Amir though came out in the 18th over and put away a couple of boundaries to seal the win in style.

Is that out? Rumman Raees and the skipper Shadab Khan go upstairs for a CAUGHT BEHIND review which is termed wide by the umpire. The ultra edge shows no spike and the onfield call remains.

Shadab Khan To Sarfaraz Ahmed OUT!
OUT! LBW! Another one bites the dust and Islamabad United are turning the tables around.  Skipper Shadab Khan bowls a straight one on a good length on middle, Sarfaraz Ahmed slips on a knee and looks to sweep it but is way too early on his shot. The ball sticks off the deck and hits him flush on the front pad. The umpire raises his finger straight away.

Hunain Shah To Jason Roy OUT!
OUT! BOWLED'EM! What a way to announce himself. Hunain Shah gets a wicket on his first ball in PSL. Hurls from over the wicket and pitches it right on the good length around off, Jason Roy looks to play across the line and gets a thick outside edge back onto the stumps. Roy was looking really good but Quetta Gladiators have now lost 3 wickets and Islamabad United are back in the contest.
Hunain Shah comes into the attack now.

A single to end the over and Naseem Shah seems really unhappy with his bowling. This is bowled on a good length around off and nips back in sharply, Khawaja Nafay almost chops it back on but the inside edge misses the stumps and the keeper makes a good stop. They do get the single.

Nearly another one and that is a brilliant effort from Faheem Ashraf. Hard length over middle, getting the ball to nip away off the deck, Khawaja Nafay gets squared up and gets a leading edge. The ball lobs up to the left of cover-point where Ashraf puts the dive in but the ball goes on the bounce and into the body.

Naseem Shah To Saud Shakeel OUT!
OUT! LBW! Excellent review from Islamabad United and Naseem Shah gets the early breakthrough. More than half an appeal for LBW but it is turned down and Shadab Khan goes for the review pretty quickly as he feels he simply has to. This is bowled on a nagging length around leg stump and swinging back in sharply. Saud Shakeel gets pinged on the back foot and misses the flick, getting rapped on the pads. Nothing on UltraEdge and Ball Tracking comes up with three reds. The on-field decision is changed and Shakeel has to walk back.
Is that out? A review for LBW by Islamabad United which was given NOT OUT by the onfield umpire.

FOUR! Oh, dear! The two fielders have made a mess of that one and Imad Wasim won't be pleased. Slower through the air and on a length around off, Jason Roy sweeps it away past short fine leg and the fielder there chases after it. The man from deep backward square leg too comes around and they both get in each other's way and a boundary is conceded.

Pitched up on middle, swinging back in, Saud Shakeel looks to drive but the ball sticks in the deck a bit and Shakeel ends up punching it back a bit uppishly. Naseem tries to grab it with both hands around knee height but spills it.
