Hasan Nawaz has been a revelation, accumulating 317 runs at an average of over 60, while Rilee Rossouw and Avishka Fernando have provided stability and firepower in the middle order.

Their team cohesion, experience, and form make the Gladiators strong contenders to seal a spot in the final.

However, they ended the league stage on a high with a dominant win against Karachi Kings, showcasing their full potential. Sahibzada Farhan has been their best batter, scoring 394 runs in 10 games with a stunning century. Alex Hales and Shadab Khan have also stepped up in the big games.
