1:04 PM IST Finishing with Flourish - Although a few quick wickets toward the end created some nervous moments in the dugout, but the Rawalpindiz middle order held their nerve.

For Islamabad United, it was a rare off-day with the ball as they failed to defend a sub-par total, while the Rawalpindiz will look to carry this winning momentum into their last remaining clash for the PSL 2026.

1:02 PM IST Rizwan and Ghulam led the charge - The chase was anchored by a stellar performance from the top order, with skipper Mohammad Rizwan leading from the front.

He found an excellent partner in Kamran Ghulam, whose aggressive 42 off 30 deliveries provided the necessary impetus during the middle overs. Their partnership effectively blunted the Islamabad spin attack, ensuring the required rate remained within reach despite the ball occasionally gripping and turning.

1:00 PM IST Better late than never - Rawalpindiz have finally broken their drought, securing a hard-fought victory over Islamabad United. Chasing a target of 138, the Pindiz showed remarkable composure under pressure, navigating a tricky surface to cross the line and claim their first two points of the season. The win brings a massive sigh of relief to the Pindiz camp and their supporters, proving that they have the heart to be a formidable team for the next season.
