LAHORE: Persistent heavy rain has disrupted the scheduled Pakistan Super League (PSL) encounter between Islamabad United and Peshawar Zalmi, leaving the match timeline uncertain. The downpour forced ground staff to cover the pitch and outfield to protect the playing surface.
Due to the wet conditions of the pitch and surrounding square, the toss was delayed, and officials announced a postponement after assessing the situation. The intensity of the showers raised doubts about the possibility of completing a full match.
The resumption of play now hinges on how swiftly the field can be restored to a playable condition. This fixture marks the seventh match of the PSL season.
Earlier in the tournament, the opening match on March 26 saw Lahore Qalandars defeat Hyderabad Kingsmen by 69 runs. The following day, Karachi Kings secured a 14-run victory over Quetta Gladiators. Peshawar Zalmi claimed a narrow 5-run win against Rawalpindi Pindiz in the third match. On March 28, Multan Sultans beat Islamabad United by 5 wickets, while Quetta Gladiators triumphed over Hyderabad Kingsmen by 40 runs in the sixth game.
