Quetta Gladiators brushed Islamabad United aside to qualify for the Playoffs of PSL 2025. Here is the updated PSL 2025 points table, along with net run rate.
Quetta Gladiators thrashed Islamabad United by 109 runs to not only qualify for the playoffs but also secure a berth in the Qualifier 1 of the PSL 2025.
QG amassed 263-3, the highest total in PSL history, after IU stand-in captain Salman Ali Agha won the toss and opted to field at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. QG used seven bowlers, two of them for one-over spells. All of them went for at least 10 runs an over.
The openers did not contribute much, but No.3 Rilee Rossouw (104 not out in 46 balls, 14 fours, six sixes) and No.4 Hasan Nawaz (100 not out in 45, four fours, nine sixes) broke a plethora of records as they put on 134 for the third wicket in only 61 balls.
Any hopes IU had of chasing down the target virtually ended after Mohammad Amir (3-6) struck thrice in his first two overs. Mohammad Wasim (2-28) and Abrar Ahmed (2-17) also got among wickets, and IU quickly slumped to 68-8. Imad Wasim (56 in 41 balls, five fours, two sixes) and Ben Dwarshuis (31 in 24, one four, two sixes) salvaged some net run rate, but in the end they collapsed to 154.
