Islamabad United vs Quetta Gladiators match prediction 18th match

IU vs QG PSL-7 Match 18 Predictions

Second-placed Islamabad United will take on fourth-placed Quetta Gladiators as the race for the playoffs gets heated in the Pakistan Super League 2022. Both sides will play the game at Lahore’s Gadaffi Stadium on February 12, 2022 (Saturday).

Jason Roy scored his maiden PSL hundred against Lahore Qalanders to help Quetta Gladiators secure a seven-wicket victory as James Vince and Mohammad Nawaz further added impetus. Now that Nawaz has been ruled out, there will be a lot of pressure on the English duo to topple the giant. Paul Stirling has been impeccable for the United, having been their top-scorer in the competition, and that will add solid dynamics to the system.

IU vs QG PSL-7 Match 18 Player Bets

Roy to score over 26.5 runs

In his first game of the season, Jason Roy scored a whirlwind 116 against Lahore Qalanders at the National Stadium in Karachi and that innings laid the foundation for what is coming ahead for the side. As the Gladiators want to push things forward and return in the playoffs race, Jason Roy becomes fundamental to the side’s plans. Roy has scored 7088 runs at an average of 28.58 and a strike rate of 143.22. With five centuries and 47 fifties to his name in the T20s, Roy has a reputation to maintain. In 2020, Roy averaged 32.8 in T20s and backed that up with 31.25 in 2021. In the ongoing year, he already has an average of 41 in 6 games which indicates the kind of form he is in at the moment. For Quetta Gladiators, Roy has an average of 40.2 in 11 games and is just 1 run shy of completing 300 runs. His average rises to 34.51 in wins, another fundamental indicator of why he is such a brute force as far as his positioning in the Pakistan Super League is concerned. You can bet big on Roy to earn a hefty return for us. All you need to do is to go and hit the bet on Parimatch.

Ahsan Ali to score over 20.5 runs

Ahsan Ali is currently the highest run-scorer for Quetta Gladiators as he has scored 211 runs at an average of 52.75 and a strike rate of 147.55 in 5 matches. In three games, he has three half-centuries already and that tells you everything you need to know about his current form. 52 of his 65-match T20 career has come in Pakistan alone, in which he averaged 25.02, but his performances drop when he flies outside. In the only game he had played previously, Ahsan had scored a half-century against Islamabad United and that will be a confidence booster for someone who is delivering high-quality batting lately. In 2022 alone, Ahsan has averaged 52.75, which is the highest he has ever had in his T20 career. Ahsan strikes at 131.63 against the pacers as compared to 120.55 against spinners, which is very good for a batter of limited ability. Hence, I would suggest betting big on him through Parimatch and taking away a lot of money with you.

Hales to score over 20.5 runs

Alex Hales is currently the third-highest run-scorer for the Islamabad United side and that is not surprising because of the diverse set of range he has in T20s. Even though he is not in England’s scheme of things for reasons other than cricket, he continues to have a clear set of demarcation when it comes to approaching his game. He has experience of 332 T20 games and has piled on 9284 runs in the process. With a strike rate of 146.29 and an average of 30.74, it is anybody’s guess why Hales commands such a presence. The Islamabad United opener has 56 half-centuries to go with five centuries in the shortest format of the game. In 254 domestic T20s, Hales has an average of 30.78, and the corresponding numbers for the T20Is stand at 31.02. In 21 Pakistan Super League games, Hales averages 33.75. In 44 games in 2021, the Englishman averaged 34.13 while the number for the ongoing calendar year has already reached 47.17.
