DUBAI – Islamabad United beat Lahore Qalandars by six wickets in the 18th match of the Pakistan Super League 2018 at the Dubai International Stadium here on Thursday.
Sent into bat first, Lahore posted their highest total of this season, 163-8, buoyed by a quick fifty by Anton Devcich and a late cameo by captain Brendon McCullum.
In reply, Ronchi’s quickfire batting made the target look inadequate, as Islamabad chased it down with 14 balls to spare.
