Islamabad United won just four out of ten games last season and managed to qualify for the playoffs due to a higher net run rate. They defeated the Kings twice last season, and the other two wins came against Peshawar Zalmi and Quetta Gladiators. They lost the second eliminator game against Lahore Qalandars, which marked their exit. The United have retained almost all the players from last season and have added some key players. Moeen Ali will join the side in the later part of the tournament, while Rassie van der Dussen has been signed as his replacement. Abrar Ahmed, who had a great Test debut against England last year, is also a part of the squad.

Avoid Having These Players In Your Fantasy Sports Team

8.5

Abrar Ahmed

ISL | BOWL

The 24-year-old made his Test debut against England last year and picked 11 wickets in total. He has played only 18 T20 matches so far, and considering the amount of help the batters will get from the pitch, it will be a good decision to leave him out of your fantasy team.

7.5

Hassan Nawaz

ISL | BAT

The youngster played in the Kashmir Premier League and scored over 200 runs in just six innings and will likely make his PSL debut in this game. He can be avoided from fantasy teams for this game.
