United vs Gladiators Live: Hasan Nawaz, Shadab Khan Dominate PSL 11 2026 Clash

Quetta Gladiators began their innings on a confident note, with captain Saud Shakeel and Shamyl Hussain taking charge early. The duo stitched together a rapid 50-run opening stand in just 26 balls, setting the tone during the powerplay where Gladiators raced to 60/1. 

Saud Shakeel looked in complete control during his fluent 42 off 26 balls, striking boundaries with ease, while Shamyl Hussain supported well with a brisk 21 before falling after a successful review decision.

However, Islamabad United clawed their way back into the contest through disciplined bowling. The momentum shifted dramatically as wickets began to fall in quick succession. Imad Wasim broke the partnership by dismissing Khawaja Nafay, putting Quetta under immediate pressure.

The situation worsened as Shadab Khan triggered a collapse that left Quetta struggling at 93/5. His spell proved crucial as he removed key batters, including Ben McDermott and Bevon Jacobs in quick succession, tightening Islamabad’s grip during the middle overs.

At this stage, Quetta Gladiators were in danger of finishing with a below-par total, but Hasan Nawaz stepped up when it mattered the most. Displaying aggressive intent and composure, he rebuilt the innings brilliantly. His unbeaten 66 off 36 balls came at a striking rate above 180, featuring a mix of calculated aggression and clean hitting. 

He found an able partner in Tom Curran, who played a crucial supporting role with an unbeaten 29. Together, they stitched a valuable 50-run partnership that shifted the momentum back in Quetta’s favor.

As the innings progressed into the death overs, Hasan Nawaz accelerated further, taking on the bowlers and ensuring Gladiators finished strongly. From a shaky 109/5 at the 15-over mark, Quetta surged to 183/5 by the end of their innings, adding crucial runs in the final overs to post a competitive total.

From Islamabad United’s bowling perspective, Shadab Khan was the standout performer, finishing with figures of 3 for 23 in his four overs, effectively controlling the middle phase. Imad Wasim also contributed with a wicket while maintaining a steady economy rate, and Salman Irshad chipped in with one breakthrough. 

Despite their efforts to restrict Quetta during the middle overs, the late assault from Hasan Nawaz and Tom Curran pushed the total beyond their comfort zone.

With 183 runs on the board, Quetta Gladiators have given themselves a solid platform in this PSL 11 2026 live match, setting up an exciting chase for Islamabad United.
