After beating Peshawar Zalmi in the first Eliminator, Islamabad United will face a formidable Lahore Qalandars side in the second Eliminator of HBL Pakistan Super League (PSL).

For the second eliminator, Islamabad United revealed that Paul Stirling has rejoined the franchise as he left earlier due to international commitments.

However, the party is likely to be spoiled by expected rain as the weather forecast claims that rain will hit the city of Lahore at around 6 pm.

If rain does occur then the delay will be compensated by reducing the number of overs. However, if Eliminator 2 sees a complete washout then Lahore Qalandars will automatically qualify due to better win-ration during the group stages as opposed to Islamabad United.

For the final, an extra day has been allocated to hold the match if rain ruins the final as well.

The winner of tonight will face-off against Multan Sultans in the final of the HBL PSL 7.
