The Islamabad United team will
face Peshawar Zalmi's match in the fourth game of the Pakistan Super League
2018. This match will be held in Dubai as the previous three matches and will
be played on February 24th. The match will start at 4:00 am PST (11:30 GMT).
Misbah ul Haq led the
Islamabad United team to a title victory in the first season of the Pakistan
Super League, but the team lost some ground in the second edition last year.
They had a reasonable group stage in which they finished with eight points from
their eight stipulated games, the same number of points they had won in the
first season, but that unfortunately did not allow them to finish in the first
two.
What that meant was that they
just had an opportunity to advance in the playoffs, but they were stopped in
this playoff by the Karachi Kings. Islamabad United, under Misbah again, hopes
they can change that around this year.
It would be interesting to see
who leads the United stick in this match as some of their players still play
international cricket. Alex Hales, for example, is involved with England in
their tour in New Zealand while JP Duminy leads South Africa in a T20 series
against India that ends Saturday, a day before that match.
Andre Russell is back after a
doping ban and he will have Shadab Khan for the company, while Mohammad Sami
and Rumman Raees will lead the bowling attack.
Peshawar Zalmi had a strong
performance / depressing performance against the Multan Sultans in their
opening match. We expected them to win against first-timers and that's exactly
what they did / they fell dramatically in this game.
