Pak T20 League 2023 

Match 8: ISL vs QUE

Preview 

It has been an exhilarating start to the 9th season of the Pak T20 League and this tie between Islamabad (ISL) and Quetta (QUE) looks like being another exciting clash. 

After their surprise victory over two time champions Lahore in the tournament opener, ISL could not capitalise on the start and lost the following encounter. They suffered a five wicket loss against Multan (MUL). Despite the unfavourable outcome, ISL had a lot of positives. 

Jordan Cox was impressive with the bat in hand in the last game. Agha Salman has been a revelation for the men in orange at number three. They possess a formidable batting lineup.

Shadab Khan, Naseem Shah and Tymal Mills will be the bowlers to keep an eye on. 

QUE have posted totals of 206/5 batting first and 188/5 while chasing so they definitely have nothing to worry in the batting department. And they also have several players eager to step up and come all guns blazing.  Jason Roy, Saud Shakeel, Sherfane Rutherford and Khawaja Nafay have already made crucial contributions. Apart from that they have an experienced skipper in the form of Rilee Rossouw ready and raring to make an impact with bat in hand. 

QUE has one of the best bowling attacks in this tournament and the former champion will be looking to show that again in this match.

We are backing QUE to win this encounter.
