Rain stops, match to begin at 10-30 pm PST

DUBAI: Rain in Dubai has stopped and the match is going to begin at 10-30 pm (Pakistan Standard Time) here at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Sunday night.

The final match of the league in the second edition of the Pakistan Super League is  being played between Islamabad United and Karachi Kings.

With only one league game left in the PSL, two teams - Karachi Kings and Lahore Qalandars - are battling for the last spot. Peshawar Zalmi, Quetta Gladiators and Islamabad United have qualified for the playoffs.

Lahore have already played their eight games, finishing with six points and a net run-rate of -0.223. Whether they qualify or not depends on the result of the last match of the league stage, between Karachi - also on six points with an NRR of -0.150 - and Islamabad (eight points, NRR -0.113).

Islamabad will move to ten points and top the group if they beat Karachi, while Karachi will qualify if they win. (In that case, these two teams will again play each other in the second playoff on Wednesday.)

However, with Karachi having an NRR of -0.150 to Lahore's -0.223, there is a possibility of Karachi qualifying even if they lose to Islamabad, as long as their NRR stays above -0.223.
