The 10th edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) is set to kick off with a thriller opening match between the defending champions Islamabad United and Lahore Qalandars in Rawalpindi on Friday.
Lahore Qalandars, under a new head coach, Russell Domingo, will look to change their fortune this season after finishing at the bottom of the table in the previous edition of PSL. Shaheen Shah Afridi is set to lead a squad blended with experienced players and new emerging talents. Known for their fierce pace attack and explosive top order consisting of Fakhar Zaman, Abdullah Shafique, and Haris Rauf, Zaman Khan is in their pace lineup.
On the other hand, Islamabad United will start the tournament with a purpose to defend their title. They halted Lahore Qalandars from sealing their third consecutive PSL title and registered their third title after defeating Multan Sultan by 2 wickets on a last-ball thriller in the last edition. Shadab Khan is set to lead the team, and with power hitters like Matthew Short and Rassie van der Dussen in their lineup, the team promises to give tough competition to other teams this season.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, start times, and the latest lineup news.
