Good Evening, شام بخیر! Hello and Welcome to CricketCountry’s live blog session of Match 4 of the ongoing Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2017, between Islamabad United and Lahore Qalandars, at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai on Friday. I am Paulami Chakraborty, and I will be bringing to you the live updates from this tie. Islamabad have so far been on the fair side, having played a game and won it, as they have the opening couple of points to be seated in the second spot of the table, behind Quetta Gladiators. Lahore, on the other hand, have so far played a game, which they have lost. Therefore, they would be aiming to win this tie to get their opening points of the season, while Islamabad would aim to win this tie and go atop the table for the time being.

United’s first advantage has to be their in-form skipper, Misbah, who is still active in international cricket. He has played a lot of cricket at this venue and is aware of how the conditions change and affect the game which is sure to come in handy. Though the Lahore Qalandars are coming off a defeat, they have a rich side. Names like Brendon McCullum, Jason Roy, Grant Elliott, Azhar Ali and Umar Akmal constitute the batting while Sunil Narine, Yasir Shah and Sohail Tanvir are the names that will be interesting to see among the bowlers.
