Champions Islamabad face Lahore as HBL PSL resumes in Karachi

LAHORE, Mar 08 (APP):Defending champions Islamabad United face a tricky situation in their all-important match against Lahore Qalandars in Karachi on Saturday, as the HBL Pakistan Super League returns to Pakistan after 26 matches in the United Arab Emirates.
Islamabad — winners of the first edition in 2016 and then again in 2018 — are in an uncertain territory with eight points in nine games, and badly need a win to qualify for the play-offs for which Quetta Gladiators and Peshawar Zalmi have already qualified.
In the case of a loss, the fate of the title-holders will rest on the results of Lahore’s last game against Multan Sultans and the two matches Karachi Kings will play against Peshawar Zalmi and Quetta Gladiators.
