Islamabad United did turn things around against Multan Sultans to notch up their first win of the season after suffering defeat at the hands of Peshawar Zalmi in their first game of the competition. Quetta Gladiators managed to produce a comprehensive win over Lahore Qalandars after losing their first game to Karachi Kings.
Check out highlights of last year’s game between two sides:
It remains to be seen whether Misbah-ul-Haq will come back to the side and lead Islamabad United. Stand-in captain Rumman Raees has done well so far and led the way with the ball in hand. United still have issues at the top of the innings with Sahibzada Farhan failing in the first two games. The opener will be keen to produce crucial runs at the top of the innings. Luke Ronchi will also have to raise his game for this clash.
Hussain Talat turned out to be an unlikely hero for Islamabad against Multan. The left-handed batsman showed class and temperament to produce a match-winning knock for his side. He will look to continue his good form in this game as well. Asif Ali and Iftikhar Ahmed might be inexperienced players in this league but will be keen to make their mark in the competition.
