Islamabad United will go back to home surfaces in Rawalpindi on Wednesday with one's back to the wall and a known foe in their crosshairs. The title holders have begun their defence in emphatic style, with two one-sided wins, the last of them a 102-run thrashing of Peshawar Zalmi.
Sahibzada Farhan drove the show with a scorching 106, while Colin Munro contributed 40 as they scored a massive 243/5.
Their rivals, Multan Sultans, are still waiting to score their first run this season. Though they put up a strong batting performance against Karachi Kings in their opener — with Mohammad Rizwan holding the fort with an unbeaten 105 in a total of 234/3 — their bowlers collapsed under pressure.
Karachi chased down the target with four wickets to spare, thanks to explosive innings from James Vince and Khushdil Shah.
To Multan's woes is their recent past against Islamabad, who defeated them twice last year, including in a high-pressure final.
