Gladiators, the finalists in the first two editions of PSL and 2019 champions, have lost their first three matches so far. In contrast, two-time champions United (2016 and 2018) have won two and lost one in three outings.

UPDATE! The match has been rescheduled for tomorrow (Tuesday) at 7 pm local time.

Earlier, it was delayed for two hours after Islamabad United's Fawad Ahmed tested positive for coronavirus.

"A player from one of the sides featuring in this evening’s match has tested positive. The player had showed symptoms two days ago and had been immediately isolated. Members of his side have tested negative while the players of the other side are being tested. Match to start at 9:00 pm (local)." PCB said in a statement

What happened so far?

United started their campaign with a three-wicket win over Multan Sultans by three wickets and defending champions Karachi Kings by five wickets. But the Shadab Khan-led outfit lost to Peshawar Zalmi by six wickets.

Gladiators have lost all their matches, to Kings by seven wickets, Lahore Qalandars by nine wickets and Zalmi by three wickets. Skipper Wahab Riaz, who hit 81 off 40 balls, against Zalmi, is under pressure. But the arrival of Faf du Plessis as Chris Gayle's replacement should boost the team's morale. The former South Africa captain scored 37 in the defeat against Zalmi.

Head-to-head: This will be their 12th meeting in PSL. Gladiators lead the head-to-head record 7-4, including league doubles in the last two seasons. United's last win against Gladiators came in the return leg of the 2018 edition. The two teams also played the inaugural final, with Islamabad winning by six wickets in Dubai.
