Toss will be delayed as it has just stopped raining at the venue, and the ground staff are busy with mop-up operations. It looks like the outfield has taken on plenty of water, and the entire square is under covers. The ground staff have their task cut out, although the clouds have started to clear a little. We will bring you the next update as soon as we have it.
In their last completed match on April 2, 2026, Islamabad United secured a dominant 8-wicket victory over the Quetta Gladiators at the Gaddafi Stadium.
fter losing the toss and being asked to bowl, United’s attack—led by captain Shadab Khan’s clinical 3/23—managed to keep the Gladiators to a total of 183/5, despite a fighting 66 from Hassan Nawaz. The chase was a masterclass in aggressive batting, as 19-year-old sensation Sameer Minhas hammered an unbeaten 82 off just 48 balls, while Shadab Khan capped off a perfect all-round performance with a blistering 69 off 39 deliveries*. The duo made light work of the target, reaching 189/2 with 10 balls to spare, providing a massive boost to their net run rate.
This victory was particularly important as it followed a frustrating washout on March 31, where their scheduled match against Peshawar Zalmi was abandoned without a ball being bowled due to heavy rain
Before that, United had suffered a narrow five-wicket defeat to the Multan Sultans in a game that went down to the final over. Having successfully bounced back with the win over Quetta, the two-time champions now enter tonight's clash against the Rawalpindi Pindiz with significant momentum and their key players finding peak form at the right time.
