In the 12th match of the PSL 2026, Rawalpindiz (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.

The pitch at Gaddafi Stadium, in Lahore, is considered to be a batting-friendly surface. This surface generally favours high scores, and the average first innings score is relatively high, which is around 180 runs. Batsmen find it easy to play strokes here. However, the pitch can prove challenging at times, as it offers bounce and pace ‌, making it a balanced pitch for both batsmen and bowlers.
