Saud Shakeel, Rilee Rossouw, and Khawaja Nafay were among the players dismissed by Imad.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think what we saw in the last few games, it was spinning, holding a bit, the thing I did well was to bowl really slow, it was gripping and it went well,\u201d Imad commented at the post-match ceremony.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI tried to bowl more slow balls than arm balls and mixed it up\u2026worked for me\u2026we restricted them and took wickets which is the best thing, if you do one of these right, you will win because powerplay is very important,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s important to note that Islamabad United beat Quetta Gladiators by 39 runs.
