Get ready for an electrifying clash tonight as Karachi Kings take on Islamabad United in Match 10 of the Pakistan Super League 10.

Scheduled to begin at 8:00 PM at the iconic National Stadium in Karachi, this face-off is one of the most anticipated games of the tournament so far.

Both Karachi Kings and Islamabad United have had decent starts to the season, but it’s Islamabad United who currently hold the upper hand. The reigning champions remain unbeaten this season, sitting comfortably with three consecutive victories. If they manage to secure another win tonight, it would be their fourth on the trot, further solidifying their dominance in PSL 10.

Historically, Islamabad United have had a clear advantage in head-to-head encounters. In their last five meetings, they’ve defeated Karachi Kings each time, making it a 5-0 record that will definitely play on the minds of the Karachi squad and fans alike. However, cricket is unpredictable, and home advantage could be the X-factor for Karachi Kings this evening.

Karachi Kings began their campaign with a convincing win but stumbled in their second outing. However, they bounced back impressively with a comfortable victory over Quetta Gladiators, showing signs of regrouping and gaining momentum. They’ll be eager to carry that confidence into this all-important game and break the jinx against their Islamabad rivals.

With stars on both sides — power hitters, crafty bowlers, and explosive all-rounders — fans are in for a thrilling contest. The likes of Imad Wasim, Kieron Pollard, and James Vince will look to shine for Karachi Kings, while Islamabad United will rely on their top-order firepower and their bowling depth to stay unbeaten.

As the stadium lights up tonight, one question looms: can Karachi Kings finally turn the tables and end their losing streak against Islamabad United, or will Islamabad United continue their flawless run and tighten their grip on the top spot?

Stay tuned — it’s going to be a Super Sunday showdown to remember!

Rawalpindi, April 16, 2025 – A sudden hailstorm in Rawalpindi caused a significant delay in the much-anticipated Pakistan Super League (PSL) 10 match between Islamabad United and Multan Sultans, originally scheduled to begin at 8:00 PM at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.

The hailstorm, accompanied by overnight rain, left the outfield drenched and unfit for immediate play. Officials confirmed that Islamabad experienced heavy rain a few hours prior to the match as well, adding to the wet conditions on the ground. The toss was officially delayed, though with the skies now clear and no rain in sight, fans remain hopeful that play will commence soon.

The Rawalpindi pitch has delivered high-scoring encounters throughout the season, with several 200-plus totals already posted. However, it has proved difficult for teams chasing big targets, putting added pressure on the side batting second.

Multan Sultans, despite boasting a powerful lineup, have had a shaky start to the tournament. In their opening game, they piled up a colossal 234 runs against Karachi Kings but still ended on the losing side. Skipper Mohammad Rizwan struck a brilliant century and was well-supported by Michael Bracewell. However, Multan’s bowling attack faltered in the face of James Vince’s explosive counterattack. Only Akif Javed managed to impress with the ball. Heading into this match, Multan will need a more cohesive bowling effort to challenge a confident Islamabad side.

Meanwhile, Islamabad United have looked like a well-oiled machine, securing convincing wins against both Lahore Qalandars and Peshawar Zalmi. Currently leading the points table, Islamabad appear determined to defend their title. Sahibzada Farhan’s stunning century in the previous match set the tone, while contributions from Colin Munro and Salman Agha have strengthened their batting depth. With the ball, Jason Holder and captain Shadab Khan have been exceptional.

As fans in Islamabad and Multan await updates, all eyes are on the ground staff to make the field playable. With stakes high, both teams are eager to resume action and gain vital points in their PSL campaigns.

Rawalpindi, April 14, 2025 – In a thrilling display of dominance, Islamabad United secured a resounding 102-run victory over Peshawar Zalmi in the fifth match of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) Season 10. The match, held in Rawalpindi, showcased a remarkable all-round performance by Islamabad United, marking one of the most convincing wins of the tournament so far.
