Quetta also started on the right foot winning their first match by three wickets against Islamabad United and losing their second match by six wickets against Peshawar Zalmi. They turned things around winning their next two games by five wickets each against Karachi Kings and Islamabad United, respectively.
The Sultans are being led by opening batsman Shan Masood while the Gladiators are being captained by Pakistan's former captain and wicketkeeper-batsman Sarfaraz Ahmed.
The Sultans have acquired the services of all-rounders Shahid Afridi, Moeen Ali of England and Fabian Allen of the West Indies, batsmen Ravi Bopara, James Vince and Wayne Madsen of England, Rohail Nazir, Ali Shafiq, Khushdil Shah.
