PSL 9: United suffer major setback ahead of clash against Zalmi

Islamabad United's key batsman, Alex Hales, will be sitting out the upcoming clash against Peshawar Zalmi on Monday.

It has come to light that England star had a prior personal commitment that clashed with the scheduled match, forcing him to sit out this encounter. This absence comes as a temporary setback for the team, as they prepare to face a formidable opponent without one of their star players.

However, fans can take in the knowledge that Hales is anticipated to rejoin the squad for the subsequent matches, with his return slated for the second leg of the tournament in Karachi. His presence is eagerly awaited, given his instrumental role in strenthening United's batting lineup.

As Islamabad United navigates through the challenges of the Pakistan Super League's ninth edition, they currently find themselves in the third position on the points table. With one victory secured from three matches, the team remains in contention, poised to capitalize on upcoming opportunities to climb higher in the standings.
