The Fixture
IU vs PZ is the PSL’s defining rivalry: 28 meetings, 14–13 to Zalmi (1 no-result). United’s three titles (2016, 2018, 2024) against Zalmi’s two (2017, 2026). The classics — Sharjeel’s 117 in 2016, the 2018 final, the 2022 Eliminator, the 2024 Eliminator 2 — are all in our complete IU vs PZ guide. For streaming on the next matchday, see Islamabad vs Peshawar live.
Why this fixture matters beyond the result: IU vs PZ is where PSL seasons pivot. The 2018 final made United the league’s first dynasty; the 2022 Eliminator announced Zalmi’s refusal to fade; the 2026 qualifier crowned a new champion-in-waiting. With the head-to-head at 14–13, the next meeting is effectively a tiebreaker for the rivalry’s history — the winner takes a two-win cushion for the first time ever. Expect the full treatment: prime-time slot, packed house, and both teams’ strongest XIs.
