Sarfaraz Ahmed-led Quetta Gladiators will be aiming for the third spot on the points table in their second clash against Islamabad United in the seventh edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL), to be played today (February 12, 2022) at 7:30pm at Lahore's Gaddafi Stadium.

After suffering a setback against United in their last fixture, Gladiators will be aiming to make amends in this match.

However, it is pertinent to mention here that Gladiators have suffered a major blow after Mohammad Nawaz was ruled out of the tournament following an injury. However, they will take heart at Jason Roy's return to the team, who hit a blistering century in their last match against Lahore Qalandars.
