RAWALPINDI: Quetta Gladiators thrashed Islamabad United by a commanding 109-run margin on Wednesday in the 26th game of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 10 at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, thanks to a strong all-around showing.
After an outstanding five-match winning streak to begin the competition, the reigning champions lost for the fourth time in a row after collapsing under pressure and being bundled out for 154 in 19.3 overs against a massive 264-run target.
Islamabad’s chase got off to a terrible start when Mohammad Amir hit twice in the first over, dismissing both openers, Sahibzada Farhan for just one and Kyle Mayers for a duck, leaving the team reeling at 1/2.
