Rawalpindiz (RAP) square off against Islamabad United (ISL) in match No. 34 of the ongoing Pakistan Super League (PSL)at the National Stadium in Karachi on Thursday, April 23.
Mohammad Rizwan-led Rawalpindiz have had a forgettable debut season in the PSL. They have lost eight games in a row and have already been eliminated. They are languishing at the bottom of the points table. Rizwan has faced severe criticism for his insipid performances with the bat. He would look to finish the campaign with a couple of strong performances and give the fans something to cheer for.
Meanwhile, Shadab Khan’s Islamabad United have had a decent campaign so far. They have played seven games, winning four and losing two. One of their games ended without a result. They are placed at No. 3 on the points table.
