Quetta Gladiators Set PSL Record 263 Runs Against Islamabad United

Quetta Gladiators achieved a record-breaking total of 263/3—the highest ever in Pakistan Super League (PSL) history—powered by explosive centuries from Rilee Rossouw and Hasan Nawaz in their 109-run victory over Islamabad United. Rossouw scored 104 off 46 balls, while Nawaz remained unbeaten on 100 from 45 deliveries, and their 134-run stand propelled Quetta to one of the most dominant performances in PSL history. Islamabad United's decision to bowl first backfired as their bowlers struggled, with only Imad Wasim and Naseem Shah managing a wicket each. The match was preceded by a minute of silence and the national anthem to honor victims of recent Indian attacks, reflecting ongoing geopolitical tensions that had raised doubts about the tournament's continuation. The Pakistan Cricket Board reassured fans that despite regional unrest, the PSL would proceed as scheduled. Quetta's win guarantees their top-two finish and a place in the play-offs, while Islamabad now faces a must-win final match for play-off qualification.
