Quetta Gladiators set a new PSL record with 263/3, beating Islamabad United by 109 runs. Rilee Rossouw and Hasan Nawaz both scored centuries, leading Quetta to a dominant victory.
This dominant display helped Quetta beat Islamabad by a huge 109-run margin, showing complete control from start to finish.

The Gladiators’ run-fest featured powerful hitting and clever shot placement. What made it even more special was the fact that two Quetta batters scored centuries in the same innings—Rilee Rossouw and Hasan Nawaz—a first in PSL history and only the 10th time in T20 cricket worldwide.
