Preview

In the ninth match of the PSL 2026, Islamabad United (ISL) will take on Quetta Gladiators (QUE). Islamabad United did not have a particularly good start as they suffered a five-wicket defeat in their opening match against Multan Sultans. However, their last match against Peshawar Zalmi was abandoned due to rain. Now they will definitely look to get their first win of this season against Quetta.

On the other hand, Quetta Gladiators performed well in the last match against Hyderabad Kingsmen as they won by 40 runs. Quetta, batting first, put up 174 runs on the board, while Kingsmen managed only 134 in reply. Quetta got a good start from the top order, with Shamyl Hussain contributing a well-made 54.

Moreover, Hasan Nawaz also batted well and scored 53 runs. In the bowling department, Abrar Ahmed delivered an impressive performance, claiming three wickets for 23 runs in his four overs, while Ahmed Daniyal chipped in with two wickets.
