CRR: 7.71

17:55 Local Time, 12:55 GMT, 18:25 IST: After eight straight losses, Rawalpindiz have registered their first PSL win! Mohammad Rizwan sports a beaming smile as the players exchange handshakes.Their bowlers set it up nicely by skittling Islamabad United out for 137. In reply, they lost a wicket off the very first ball. Kamran Ghulam joined Rizwan and the duo stitched a 78-run partnership with the former being the aggressor from the word go. It looked like they would cruise home comfortably. But Rawalpindiz stuttered a bit. Ghulam fell to a half-tracker from Green, Rizwan perished while trying to slogsweep Shadab and then Billing was run-out as he was backing up a long way. The asking rate went above 6 RPO and that's when the overseas duo of Mitchell and Forrester joined hands and ensured that there were no further hiccups in the run-chase. Mitchell went after Gleeson in the 17th over, hitting a six and four off successive deliveries. 17 runs came off that over to settle all the nerves in the Pindiz camp and then Forrester hit a couple of boundaries as Rawalpindiz crossed the winning line with 11 balls to spare.

Mohammad Hasnain to Dian Forrester, FOUR, 133.2kph, short ball, Forrester stands tall to hammer the pull through square leg. Bullets away to the fence. Something to cheer for Rawalpindiz as they finally win a game!
