The victory at the Karachi National Stadium further solidifies United’s position at the top of the table while leaving the Qalandars searching for answers.
Choosing to bowl first, Islamabad’s attack was relentless. Chris Green (3/19) and Imad Wasim (2/13) exploited the surface perfectly, skittling the Qalandars for a meager 100 in 18.3 overs.
Apart from Sikandar Raza’s fighting 25, no Lahore batsman could withstand the disciplined United bowling unit.
