Islamabad United started their PSL 2026 campaign with a loss against Multan Sultans. The team scored 171 runs in that match but failed to defend the total.
Mark Chapman was the top performer with the bat, while young player Sameer Minhas showed promise. However, bowlers Salman Mirza and Shadab Khan had difficult outings.
Islamabad later gained a point after their match against Peshawar Zalmi was washed out.
Quetta Gladiators also began the season with a defeat after failing to chase a target of 182 runs. The team looked comfortable during the chase but could not finish the match.
They responded strongly in their next game by defeating Hyderabad Kingsmen. Half-centuries from Shamyl Hussain and Hassan Nawaz played a key role in that victory.

Karachi Kings have started the PSL 2026 season strongly and currently sit second on the points table with two wins from two matches.
Hasan Ali played a key role in their victory against Quetta Gladiators, taking 4 wickets for 27 runs. His spell helped turn the game around after Quetta looked set to chase down 182.
Karachi’s second win came in a tight match against Lahore Qalandars. The game included a dramatic moment when a five-run penalty for ball tampering changed the course of the chase.
Rawalpindiz had a high-scoring first match where they posted 214 for 4. However, Peshawar Zalmi successfully chased the target with five balls remaining.
Bowling remains a concern for Rawalpindiz. Naseem Shah conceded 51 runs in four overs in that match and later faced a fine for a controversial social media post.
