In the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on Monday, Lahore Qalandars and Islamabad United will play in the 16th game of the ongoing eighth season of the Pakistan Super League (PSL).

Lahore Qalandars got off to a strong start against Islamabad United thanks to Tahir Baig and Fakhar Zaman. For the first wicket, the two batters cobbled together a 58-run goal.

To counter this, Shadab Khan knocked out Tahir after he had scored 20 runs off of 17 balls, providing Islamabad with a much-needed breakthrough.

The next batter to leave the game was Billings after his countryman defeated him. 33 runs were scored by the right-handed batsman on 23 balls.

David Weise (12) entered the crease after Billings left, but Abrar Ahmed yanked him away.

Rashid Khan, a spinner, also made a significant cameo with 18 runs, including two boundaries and a six. nonetheless, Hasan Ali won.

Sikandar Raza, an all-rounder, scored 23 runs off 10 balls in the meanwhile.

The earlier toss had been won by Lahore, who chose to bat first against Islamabad.

Both teams will be fired up after their recent emphatic victories. In Karachi, United overcame Quetta Gladiators, while yesterday night in Lahore, Qalandars triumphed over Peshawar Zalmi.
