The Last Meeting: 28 April 2026
The most recent IU vs PZ clash was the PSL 2026 Qualifier at the National Bank Stadium, Karachi — and it was a coronation. Islamabad United won the toss and chose to bowl. Babar Azam responded with 103 off 59 balls (12 fours, 4 sixes), powering Zalmi to 221/7 alongside Mohammad Haris (35 off 16) and Kusal Mendis (41 off 26). Shadab Khan’s 3/42 was United’s only bright bowling.
The chase collapsed after a bright start: Sameer Minhas (44 off 23) fell to Aaron Hardie, and United subsided to 151 all out in 18.4 overs — Hardie 3/24, Mohammad Basit 2/19, Sufiyan Muqeem 2/25. Zalmi won by 70 runs, Babar was player of the match, and Peshawar went on to win the title five days later. Their league meeting on 31 March 2026 had been abandoned without a ball bowled (rain, Gaddafi Stadium).
Head-to-Head: 14–13
