Islamabad United Stumbles: PSL 10 Gets Even Wilder
Okay, PSL 2025, you crazy thing. I'm still reeling from Friday's Islamabad United versus Peshawar Zalmi match. Islamabad, sitting pretty at the top of the points table, just got smacked. A six-wicket defeat? Honestly, who saw that coming?
Islamabad, after winning the toss and choosing to bat first, managed a decent 143/9. Sahibzada Farhan’s 36 and Ben Dwarshuis’ unbeaten 33 were the highlights; otherwise, it was kinda shaky. You know how sometimes things just spiral? That’s what it felt like watching their innings.
A Comeback for the Ages
Peshawar Zalmi’s chase was… dramatic. They lost early wickets, and it looked a little dicey for a while. But then, boom! A 102-run partnership between Babar Azam (53*) and the debutant Maaz Sadaqat (55) completely changed the game. Sadaqat, just 19, absolutely killed it. His performance is the main story here. The kid’s a star!
The Points Table Shuffle
Islamabad’s loss, while surprising, doesn't knock them off their perch entirely. They're still number one, clinging to a one-point lead over Quetta Gladiators. Ten points from seven matches—not bad, but definitely not invincible. Peshawar Zalmi’s win bumped them up to sixth place, keeping their playoff hopes flickering. Poor Multan Sultans, though—they’re out of the running.
It’s incredibly close at the top; every game matters. It's tense, exciting, and honestly, a little stressful to watch!
What's Next for the Islamabad United?
Big game tonight! Islamabad United faces Quetta Gladiators tonight in Lahore. This is a massive match for them. If they lose this one, things are going to get really interesting. This defeat against Peshawar Zalmi was a wake-up call; they need to pull it together and fast.
PSL 10: The Wild West
So, yeah, PSL 10 is insane. The competition is fierce. Islamabad might be on top, but this game proves that anyone can beat anyone on any given day. With so many teams still in contention for the playoffs, the remaining matches are going to be nail-biters. I can’t wait to see what happens next!
