Islamabad United vs RawalPindiz Live: Shadab Wins Toss, Elects to Field

LAHORE: Islamabad United captain Shadab Khan wins the toss and elects to field first in tonight’s HBL PSL 11 encounter against RawalPindiz at Gaddafi Stadium. 

Despite a significant rain delay, match officials confirm that no overs are lost, ensuring a full 40-over contest for the eager Lahore crowd.

The decision to bowl comes as no surprise given the lingering moisture on the surface following earlier rains. Shadab looks to his seamers, including Richard Gleeson, to exploit the early movement and put the debutant "Pindiz" side under immediate pressure.

Led by Mohammad Rizwan, RawalPindiz now faces the task of setting a competitive target on a tricky deck. With explosive hitters like Devon Conway waiting in the United dugout, the visitors need a strong start from their openers to stay in the hunt. 

The first ball is scheduled for 7:40 PM PKT.
