Preview
The Thursday evening will see a clash between Shadab Khan's Islamabad United and Sarfraz Ahmed's Quetta Gladiators. Both the teams have two points, but Gladiators have played a game extra. The only game they have won so far was against Karachi Kings where Naseem Shah took a five-for. On the other hand, Islamabad United started their campaign in style as they blew Peshawar Zalmi away. However, Multan Sultans proved a tad too stronger for United as they had to face a defeat by 20 runs. Now, both teams will look to get back to winning ways when they face each other on 3 February.

Analysis
Shadab Khan emerged as the highest scorer for United in their game against Multan Sultans while Paul Stirling and Alex Hales were stars against Peshawar Zalmi. Asif Ali has also shown some shades of power hitting. So, these players walk into the fantasy team. From Gladiators camp, Ahsan Ali and Ben Duckett look like good choices in the batters category. Rahmanullah Gurbaz is also a good pick for wicketkepper. James Faulkner can also fetch valuable points.
