Preview
With three teams already qualified for the play-offs, the match between Quetta Gladiators will be just a game to entertain the crowd. It cannot be ruled out that Gladiators still have a chance, but it does not depend totally on them. Also, they are coming after a humiliating defeat to Multan Sultans while Karachi Kings finally managed to win a game against Lahore Qalandars. So, it is going to be a challenging task for the Gladiators, but they will back themselves to do it.

Analysis
Babar Azam has continuously delivered for Karachi Kings while Jason Roy has done it for Quetta Gladiators. So, both these batters become valuable picks. Will Smeed and Sharjeel Khan are also good choices. Umar Akmal, being a wicketkeeper, can also fetch some good points. In the bowling department, Mir Hamza, Chris Jordan, and Naseem Shah look good choices.
