Islamabad United will play just one more game before moving on to the knockout stage of the PSL this year, as we are rapidly approaching the end of the group stage. This encounter takes place on Thursday. Because of this, the pressure is increasing and the teams outside of the top spot need to win even more.
In contrast, a victory by Karachi Kings would put them ahead of Islamabad United and make it extremely difficult for their rivals to advance further in the league. A victory by Islamabad United would see them pass two teams and move up to second. To put it plainly, Thursday night offers lots of opportunities for play!
Islamabad United is expected to make at least one change for this Thursday night’s match, which comes only a day after they were unexpectedly defeated by Lahore Qalandars, who are currently at the bottom of the standings.
For complete confirmation, we will need to wait until the toss, but we believe Shadab Khan will declare Tymal Mills back to the field to offer another option for getting wickets.
Islamabad United will be depending on Alex Hales, Colin Munro, Naseem Shah, Faheem Ashraf, and Shadab Khan to offer knowledge throughout this match as he attempts to avoid making his third straight duck.

Although some analysts were beginning to doubt Karachi Kings’ chances in this year’s competition, they surprised everyone on Wednesday by defeating Quetta Gladiators, who were in second position, and snapping their three-game losing streak.
We anticipate Kieron Pollard to hold his spot and keep Leus du Plooy out of the starting lineup for this match after he returned to the team for the victory over the Gladiators. We believe their bowling attack will provide them the best opportunity of defeating Islamabad United, given their batting has been inconsistent throughout the league. Before this match, Hasan Ali and Blessing Muzarabani are both in excellent form.

Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, Rawalpindi
In four out of the five games played at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, the captain who won the toss decided to field first. We anticipate that both teams will choose to bowl first because the weather is not expected to change significantly during the game.
In Rawalpindi, the weather has been stable, with temperatures in the mid- to upper teens and no risk of rain again. There will be an increase in humidity, but not to the point where it will change the weather. In Rawalpindi, the ball will come to bat at a good velocity, but if the elite quick bowlers can place the ball well, they can take advantage of some sideways movement. Over 185 will be a par score in the first innings.
In their last 5 matches, Islamabad United won all of them.
