Salman Ali Agha clarifies that they were forced to make too many changes due to injuries and niggles emphasizing that these were not tactical but forced changes. He added that momentum is crucial in T20 tournaments

Rilee Rossouw, Player of the Match: Think my mindset was a very positive one, I wanted to come out and play my natural game, pleased it worked in my favor. Only breakfast, toast and sandwich in lunch. We had a good partnership out there, played well with each other, left-right hand combination is always great. Our batters are doing very nicely and our bowlers are following that up.

Quetta extend Islamabad's losing streak with back-to-back wins. Quetta won it with the bat thanks to a heroic batting performance. Rilee Rossouw and Hasan Nawaz piled misery on the bowlers, adding 204 runs together and smashing 18 fours and 15 sixes. It was the highest total ever in PSL history. However, Islamabad then crumbled under scoreboard pressure; regularly finding fielders and losing wickets at frequent intervals. The response was tepid as Mohammad Amir struck twice in the powerplay to peg them back and added another later. Khurram took one while Wasim and Abrar picked up two wickets each in what was an incredibly well-knit bowling performance. Quetta have peaked at the right time, firming their grip on the top spot. They look dangerous and are riding high on confidence

Arshad Ror : "It is quite surprising to see Saud Shakeel showing little intent to finish the match decisively. Despite the opportunity to secure a dominant victory, he has not introduced Mohammad Amir into the attack, who could potentially break the partnership and wrap up the innings swiftly. One would expect a more aggressive and strategic approach from the captain in such a favorable position."

Iqbal: "So QG is making fun of it now by not utilizing their main bowlers to wrap things up."
