Matches
Colin Munro, the starting goalkeeper for Islamabad United, sustained a hamstring injury earlier and is now considered a serious doubt for the elimination match against Quetta Gladiators on March 15 at the National Bank Stadium.
Munro is reportedly a serious doubt for the first eliminator after reportedly tearing his hamstring in the same match. However, the team’s medical experts will decide whether or not he plays in the second eliminator if Islamabad defeats Quetta on Friday.
