Incredible over by Shadab Khan. Islamabad United are back in this game and how. The captain is leading by example. Quetta, who were once 71 for 1 at one stage after 8 overs, have been reduced to 93 for 5.

Khawaja Nafay and Hassan Nawaz are in the middle as they both are capable of striking the long ball. This is a well-set batting order, which can help Quetta achieve a challenging total on this wicket. Being an afternoon game, expect the pitch to slow, which will make stroke-making difficult.
