Player of the Match: Sameer Minhas

Haris: "I feel Abdul Samad's name needs to be mentioned for middle order batters. His recent performance in Bangladesh and PSL feels like he can perform well. "

Abbas: "Pindiz and HHK has disappointed us "

ghazanfar : "for middle order we can try sharjeel khan . he gave good impact in last match"

10:50 pm Islamabad United claim the Golden Bail in the inter-city derby, putting on a batting display that never really gave the Pindiz bowlers a chance. Sameer Minhas carried his form from the last game and looked in complete control, finding the boundary regularly and keeping the pressure on from the start. United got off to a strong start, scoring 62 in the powerplay while only losing Conway's wicket. That early momentum set the tone for the chase. Minhas led the charge with a superb 70 off 36 balls before mistiming a slower bouncer from Jalat, which was safely taken by Mitchell in the 10th over. By then though, the result already felt inevitable. Even when Faiq was dismissed for 19 runs in the 12th over by Rishad, there was no real shift in momentum. Chapman came in and made his intentions clear straight away, smashing 14 runs off just three balls in the same over. From there, Chapman and Haider Ali kept things simple, picking off boundaries and guiding the team home without any drama. It was a comfortable win in the end. Pindiz are still searching for their first victory after three matches, while United move up to second on the table.

Islamabad United won by 7 wickets

Forrester to Haider Ali, FOUR, Finishes the game in style! It was a length ball right in the slot, and he took a full swing of the bat to hoick it through square leg, splitting the two converging sweeper fielders and finding the ropes.

Adnan: "Yes, the middle order is more vulnerable than the opening. Still no sign of a reliable middle-order batsman in the PSL which can help Pak national t20 team."

Jalat Khan to Haider Ali, SIX, Magnificent hitting! Full and overpitched ball angling in on the stumps, heaves it straight over long on, plays it through the line of the ball and smashes it into the vacant gallery of green seats! 91 metres six.
