IU 114/9 after 16 overs – Islamabad crumbling under pressure

Raza bags another, Shadab and Dwarshuis fall

The collapse continues as Sikandar Raza picks up Shadab Khan and Ben Dwarshuis in quick succession. Shadab's misjudged shot finds a fielder at long-off, and Dwarshuis falls to a short delivery that he couldn't quite get under. With Hunain Shah now at the crease, Islamabad's slim hopes are rapidly fading.

IU 109/7 after 15 overs – Curran strikes, Islamabad faltering

Imad Wasim departs as Islamabad's hopes fade

Tom Curran struck again, sending Imad Wasim back with a soft dismissal to mid-off. The lack of pace seemed to trouble Imad, and the asking rate now shoots over 20 per over. Shadab Khan remains, but with only Ben Dwarshuis for company, Islamabad's chase is all but over.

Lahore's bowlers continue to dominate, tightening the screws with every over.

Only 2 runs off the over, Islamabad sinking further

Sikandar Raza followed up Haris Rauf's fiery burst with a tidy over that kept the squeeze on Islamabad. Imad Wasim struggled for timing, barely able to get the ball away. A loud LBW appeal nearly had him too - just shaving leg stump on review. Shadab Khan managed a single early on, but with 17+ per over now required, Islamabad are staring at a mountain.

Lahore's bowlers are hunting in packs - relentless, ruthless, and right on top.

Four and six from Gous inject momentum into United's innings

Islamabad United shift gears as Andries Gous finds his range, smashing Tom Curran for a four and a six in a productive fourth over. Curran overpitched twice, and Gous didn't miss out - first clearing long-on with a clean hit, then threading one past mid-on for four.

Islamabad United begin cautiously, managing just 4 runs in the first over bowled by Shaheen Shah Afridi. Sahibzada Farhan looked tentative, managing a couple of streaky twos but failing to find fluency early on.

LQ losing momentum after brisk start

Shadab Khan wraps up his spell with a miserly over, giving away just 4 runs and keeping the batters tied down. Despite a few singles and a hint of urgency from Daryl Mitchell, there were no boundaries and no risk-taking. Sam Billings is yet to get going, and the dot balls are beginning to build pressure.

Shadab ends with a respectable 4-0-27-0, maintaining control throughout and building pressure that helped Imad at the other end. With just 6 overs to go, Lahore Qalandars need to accelerate but also be wary of losing more wickets.

It's a crucial breakthrough at a critical stage.

Daryl Mitchell did manage a cheeky sweep for four early in the over, but otherwise Imad's control over his lengths and angles has made him hard to get away. Sam Billings now joins Mitchell with the Qalandars suddenly needing to regroup again.
