The former champions are currently struggling in the ongoing extravaganza as they sit at the bottom of the points table with just two points in five matches.
Sarfaraz Ahmed-led Gladiators need a strong comeback in a bid to hype up their playoff march.
The Gladiators next face defending champions and leaders Lahore Qalandars in their sixth fixture of the PSL 8 on Thursday.
