Quetta wallop Islamabad
Bangladesh all-rounder Mahmudullah Riyad was not required to bat or bowl as his side Quetta Gladiators cantered to a six-wicket victory against Islamabad United in their Pakistan Super League fixture last night.
Riyad, having sat out the first two matches, was drafted in for Quetta's third match, but his contribution was limited to only taking the catch of opposition skipper Misbahul Haque.
Powered by a blazing 34-ball 48 from Kevin Pietersen, Quetta romped to the victory target of 135 with 17 balls to spare. The win lifted Quetta to second position with four points from three matches while Islamabad remained in fifth position with two points.
