Rawalpindiz will face Islamabad United in the 34th match of the Pakistan Super League 2026 played at National Cricket Stadium in Karachi on Thursday.
With eight consecutive defeats on the bounce, things have gone from bad to worse for Rawalpindiz in their debut PSL season. Skipper Mohammad Rizwan will have to lead from the front with the bat to help the franchise end their losing streak.
On the other hand, Islamabad United will be looking to deliver another clinical performance to move a one step closer towards qualifying for the playoffs of the competition.
In a game played earlier this season at Gaddafi Stadium, Islamabad United registered comfortable seven-wicket win over Rawalpindiz.

The lack of runs from the top-order has been franchise’s Achilles heel this season. Captain Mohammad Rizwan has gone through a very lean phase, accumulating just 133 runs in eight outings. The team management will be hoping that Rizwan can find form with the bat and deliver a notable score against Islamabad United.
In the previous match, Daryl Mitchell played well for Rawalpindiz and finished the innings with the top-score of 58 runs off 46 balls with the help of three fours and two sixes. Besides Mitchell, Dian Forrester, Sam Billings, and Mohammad Rizwan produced scores of 37*, 29 and 26 runs respectively.
In the bowling department, the side will be depending on the likes of Asif Afridi, Ben Sears, Mohammad Amir, Razaullah and Saad Masood to deliver timely breakthroughs.
In the previous match, spinner Asif Afridi was the pick of the bowlers for Rawalpindiz and claimed 2 for 28 in his full quota of overs.
Mohammad Rizwan Total Runs Over 23.5 @ 1.85
Rizwan hasn’t been consistent lately, averaging 14 in his last five innings, but his 26 in the previous game showed signs of rhythm. If he builds on that start, this line is achievable.
