The Gladiators enter this match with high confidence following a dominant 40-run victory against the Hyderabad Kingsmen. On the other hand, Islamabad United had a frustrating outing in their previous scheduled fixture. Their match against Peshawar Zalmi on March 31 was abandoned without a ball bowled due to heavy rain and a wet outfield in Lahore. Before that washout, United suffered a close 5-wicket loss to the Multan Sultans.
The Gaddafi Stadium is among the premier cricket stadiums in Pakistan and the surface here is flat and hard, which allows the ball to come onto the bat nicely. Batters can play their shots freely, and high scores are common here.
Middle order batter Hasan Nawaz is currently the backbone of the Gladiators' batting lineup. He has shown incredible consistency and aggression at the top of the order. On the other hand, the Islamabad United captain, Shadab Khan, remains the most impactful all-rounder in the competition. Even when the team struggles, Shadab usually contributes in both departments. Both of them are the top captaincy picks for ISL vs QUE Dream11 team Prediction.
