If you have been monitoring the Pakistan Super League recently, you will know that the Quetta Gladiators have quietly formulated an impressive bowling attack that is both cunning and effective. While the batsmen often get the limelight, bowlers are known to be a team’s difference in a tightly contested match. This season, Quetta has three names that seem to be the cream of the crop—Abrar Ahmed, Faheem Ashraf, and Usman Tariq. As we will see, each bowler provides a distinct part to play within the gladiators’ bowling attack, which is extremely important to the gladiator’s success. So, if you want to know who is doing the majority of the work with the ball, get ready because we are breaking down the top 3 names to look out for!
1. Abrar Ahmed
Quetta Gladiators have found a gem in Abrar Ahmed, who’s delivering phenomenal performances. He has taken 15 wickets in 10 matches at an economy of 7.48 and a strike rate of 14.6. He can choke runs while taking wickets, and I have no doubt he’s the spine of the spin attack for the Gladiators. Adding to this is the ability for him to bowl under pressure, which is anecdotal, but amazing! His doosra and subtle variations will regularly confound batsmen, making the bravest hitters very scared, and his quiet confidence is contagious on the field. I would consider Abrar a bowler for Quetta Gladiators, but I would also consider him a game-changer.
2. Faheem Ashraf
Faheem Ashraf is a blend of the right amount of experience and raw pace, and has been a scary assault in the death overs. He has picked up 14 wickets in 10 outings at a slightly high economy rate of 10.97, but I wouldn’t be worried about that, as certainly his strike rate of 10.42 would suggest he knows when to hit the timber or take a crucial wicket. He can be at his best when bowling some tight overs, and then can come in like a whirlwind to break any partnership. Slightly, he is the sort of guy who can change the entire momentum of the game with a ball or two, and while he is the sort of guy who is willing to take risks in the big moments and is trusted at the Gladiators, in those game-changing moments. He can bowl yorkers and slower balls, so he has a bit of variety to his arsenal.
3. Usman Tariq
Usman Tariq may not be the most recognizable name to you yet, but don’t overlook his rising talent. He has been quite a nuisance for teams while performing quite well, taking 8 wickets in 8 games and putting up an economy rate of 7.36. If you look further, he has a strike rate of 23.62, which suggests he is often bowling longer spells and continues to pressure the batsmen with his line and length. Most promisingly, Usman has shown he is on an upward trajectory and perhaps, as he gets older, could be the crown jewel of Quetta’s pace attack. He has proven he isn’t afraid of taking wickets, while still exerting control and pressure on opposition batsmen with various deliveries.
So, whether you are an avid cricket fan or just engaged casually, then these names to remembering. Will Abrar, Faheem, and Usman help Quetta win PSL? Only time will tell, although you can be certain the damage will be destructive, and the journey will be fun to observe.
