The Peninsula
ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates - Islamabad United moved top of the Pakistan Super League after making a dramatic recovery for a 28-run win over high-flying Lahore Qalandars on Sunday.
Pakistan international Asif Ali revived Islamabad from a precarious 20-5 with a 43-ball 75 to take the two-time champion to a total of 152-7 after captain Shadab Khan won the toss and surprised almost everyone by choosing to bat. It was the first time in six PSL editions that Islamabad had opted to bat first after winning the toss - on all previous 24 occasions Islamabad chose to chase after winning the toss.
