The 2025 Pakistan Super League begins with defending champions Islamabad United facing Lahore Qalandars. Islamabad aims to continue their strong form from last season, while Lahore seeks redemption after finishing last in 2024, winning only one match.

Although Lahore has a decent batting lineup, their bowling appears weak compared to Islamabad's strong batting, giving United an advantage. The match will test whether Lahore can pull off an upset in the opening game.

Squads:

Islamabad United: Matthew Short, Naseem Shah, Shadab Khan, Imad Wasim, Azam Khan, Jason Holder, Ben Dwarshuis, Salman Irshad, Salman Ali Agha, Haider Ali, Andries Gous, Colin Munro, Muhammad Nawaz, Rumman Raees, Hunain Shah, Saad Masood, Riley Meredith, Rassie van der Dussen

Lahore Qalandars: Daryl Mitchell, Fakhar Zaman, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Haris Rauf, Kusal Perera, Sikandar Raza, Abdullah Shafique, Jahandad Khan, Zaman Khan, Asif Afridi, Asif Ali, David Wiese, Muhammad Akhlaq, Rishad Hossain, Mohammad Azab, Momin Qamar, Mohammad Naeem, Sam Billings, Salman Ali Mirza, Tom Curran

Not the first match hype game you want

It should have been KK v Multan Sultans.

Big Warner teaching a pathetic franchise what modern T20 is!
 
So practically all the top stars picked up in the draft are in Pakistan and ready to roll…

Only Chapman has been a slight let down

Perfect window, don’t change this. IPL rejects next year could be Rickleton, Fraser, Phillips, Livingstone, Conway….


Don’t mind them at all in the PSL

Not to mention ipl and psl will not take place at same time. So more stars
 
Rana said:
But doing it at this time has clearly worked in getting you a proper overseas player roster?!

Maybe because of no international cricket.
But I dont think psl will take place adjacent to ipl. It only happened due to champions trophy

They will get flop players if they change the window. This window is perfect

Next year ECB rejects will also force their way through
 
United should give chance to muhammad shehzad, he can prove to be faheem ashraf replacement. But i guess jason holder fills that role for now

Shehzad pace bowling is not good enough i was hoping he would get better. He is slightly better if not par with hussain talat and that is not saying much
 
Mohammad Azab? Why would any parents want to name their child Azab.

Hope he brings Azab towards his opposition in cricket
 
Cheering for Lahore. Any team who has Shadab as captain and Azam as w/k deserves nothing!!!

Why would any parents want to name their child Azab

As always you dont have an answer. Is that what you did during school exams? Filling in a pack of nonsense in the answer sheets hoping the examiner doesnt read your kachra and give you a pass considering your word count.

I'll have you know i did my masters from a top 20 university in the world and am planning to do my PHD within a year's time.

So I highly highly doubt that the examiner didn't like me. At the very least I can prove my educational status, can you prove your claim about 33 KPK players existing that are > current PK team?

Kya Azab banaya hoa hai

Isnt this how you act immaturely for Asif Ali and Sharjeel Khan? Why complain now if you cant take it yourself?
 
Why would they organize starting match in the small stadium like pindi. Why not lahore?? First impression is last
 
I hope we get to see some young and fresh faces performs and impress in this PSL like IPL where we get to know about atleast 5 fresh players at the end of tournament

Every city should get equal opportunity to host the opening ceremony. Pindi should be rewarded for always turning out in good numbers unlike Karachi
 
Brother, how to watch this mega extravaganza from Bharat?

Please respond.

A song from a future PHD. We are so lucky 🤞
 
Micky mouse league could have picked up a player from U.S. tribute there win against pak.
 
What channels are showing PSL other than IPTV/Ten?
 
Seal azam khan is an embarrassment to cricket. He should be nowhere near cricket field.
He should go to North pole or something.
 
No Short. Not our best XI, considering RVD isn’t available yet either.
 
Both sides are good. Looking forward to seeing Asif Afridi. He could have had a good international career if things went his way

Sorry brother I still don't believe you, I already told you I can prove it on my end. You just need to come to Sydney and I need to kidnap you and show you YouTube videos.

I find it weird that YouTube would ban by region, although I have seen that prompt "sorry this video isn't available in your country"

And Ive already told you . Unless you are using VPN, it's probably because PSL digital rights haven't been sold in Australia.

That's not the case in India
