Tremendous show in the field from Quetta Gladiators! They just neutralized Blasting Batting Lineup of Islamabad United with their spin options. It was excellent captaincy from Sarfraz, however… You can not rule out Misbah and Russel’s 7th wicket partnership which brought them back in the game to some extend!
Quetta Gladiators need 129 to win from 20 overs.
