Form Guide
United and Pindiz enter the fixture with contrasting momenta as the three-time champions are fresh from a resounding eight-wicket victory over the previous edition’s runners-up Quetta Gladiators, while the new entrants are on a two-match losing streak.
The United got off to an underwhelming start to their PSL 11 campaign as they suffered a five-wicket defeat at the hands of Multan Sultans, while their subsequent fixture against Peshawar Zalmi was washed out due to rain.
The Pindiz, on the other hand, lost each of their first two matches against Zalmi and the leaders Karachi Kings, respectively, by five wickets, and thus are yet to taste a triumph in the PSL.
