With a single win in four matches, Quetta are currently placed fifth in the points table. They only managed to win once, against the struggling Karachi Kings.
It would be a crucial game for Quetta in order to remain in contention for the playoffs.
Jason Roy’s inclusion in the squad will strengthen Quetta’s team and boost the entire dressing room. The English batsman may get his team off to a flying start and provide the groundwork for the middle-order hitters to tee off in the final overs.
