On Wednesday at the Pindi Cricket Stadium, Quetta Gladiators piled up runs against defending champions Islamabad United to post the highest total in PSL history. Under the leadership of Saud Shakeel, the Gladiators scored 263 runs for the loss of 3 wickets in the allotted 20 overs against Islamabad United.
Quetta Gladiators’ Rilee Rossouw and Hassan Nawaz scored brilliant centuries, making 104 and 100 runs respectively. The 263 runs by Quetta is the highest score by any team in PSL history.
