Islamabad United will continue their group stage matches till the 10th of March, 2025. Last time, they were able to enter the knockouts by securing 3rd spot on the points table. This time, they have to win most matches if they want to enter the Qualifier directly.
Also, there will be a lot of travelling for the United in the first leg of the tournament. They will have to travel from Lahore to Multan, and then to Karachi. However, the second leg of the group matches will be easier on their legs. This is because they will have a flurry of matches on their home ground. And this is what we will talk about in the next section.

| Mar 10, 2025 | Multan Sultans | Pindi Cricket Stadium |
ISLU will get five matches in Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. You might be wondering, why is this their home ground. Well, Islamabad and Rawalpindi are called twin cities for a reason. Both cities are connected by a single small road, and you will not even notice entering the other city.
Anyways, the second phase of the group matches will be on the home grounds. Last year, rain messed up with some of their matches that didn’t let them have a better position on the points table. This time, things could be better.
They will play the last match of the group stages against the Sultans on 10 March 2024. This won’t be an easy match by any means. Let’s see how things figure out.
Conclusion
Islamabad United will go on with the group stages from 17 February to 10 March. This is going to be a fun tournament since the United have built a solid team over the years. Their #DimagSe approach has helped them get better and better with each match. Now, it is time to reap the rewards. Will this season count as another PSL trophy for Islamabad United? Well, we will have to see PSL 2025 to find that out.
