Match Preview
Rawalpindi Pindiz set to face Islamabad United in the 12th match of the Pakistan Super League 2026 (PSL) at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on Saturday, April 4. In the twelfth match of the PSL 2026, Rawalpindi Pindiz (RAP) will take on Islamabad United (ISL). Rawalpindi Pindiz have showcased impressive batting form in their last two matches, but have been unable to convert those performances into victories. In the previous game, they suffered a five-wicket defeat against Karachi Kings. Batting first, Rawalpindi posted a competitive total of 197 runs, which was successfully chased down by Karachi in the final over.
Their batting unit performed admirably, with Daryl Mitchell contributing 65 runs off 41 deliveries, while Sam Billings added a solid 58. However, their bowling attack failed to make a significant impact. Mitchell was the standout performer with the ball, claiming three wickets for 32 runs, but lacked support from the rest of the bowlers.
On the other hand, Islamabad United delivered an exceptional performance in their previous match, registering an eight-wicket victory over Quetta Gladiators. After conceding 183 runs while bowling first, Islamabad’s batting lineup performed well. Sameer Minhas provided a strong start at the top with a well-compiled 82, while Shadab Khan impressed with a brilliant all-round display, scoring 69 runs in the middle order and picking up three wickets. Salman Mirza and Imad Wasim also chipped in with a wicket each, contributing to a well-rounded team performance.
