RawalPindiz Break Drought in PSL 11 with Thrilling Win Over Islamabad United

RawalPindiz marked their first win of the 2026 Pakistan Super League (PSL 11) season after overcoming an eight-match losing streak with a resounding victory over Islamabad United at Karachi’s National Bank Stadium. RawalPindiz’s decision to take the initiative and bowl first paid off, as they effectively restricted the three-time champions to a total of 137 runs in 20 overs. Islamabad United’s top scorer was Devon Conway, who accumulated 40 runs from 33 deliveries, including three fours and two sixes. Chris Green chipped in with a valuable 29 off 16 deliveries, while Mark Chapman contributed 23 runs. The RawalPindiz bowlers shared the spoils, with Mohammad Amir, Dian Forrester, and Saad Masood each claiming two wickets, while Asif Afridi, Naseem Shah, and Daryl Mitchell picked up one wicket apiece. In response, RawalPindiz chased down the target with relative ease, reaching it with six wickets in hand in the 19th over. Led by captain Mohammad Rizwan, who scored 45 runs off 38 balls, including five fours and a six, RawalPindiz’s chase was well-paced. Kamran Ghulam also made a significant contribution with 42 runs off 30 deliveries, featuring five boundaries and one six. Daryl Mitchell and Dian Forrester also made useful contributions with 32 and 13 runs respectively. For Islamabad United, Imad Wasim, Shadab Khan, and Chris Green each picked up one wicket, but ultimately, the total proved insufficient to defend. The win lifted RawalPindiz off the bottom of the table, though they still have two points from nine matches and a net run-rate of -1.330.
