“I faced some of the net bowlers and I am amazed to see the local talent here,” he added.

“They [Islamabad United] played well in the powerplay in both innings, especially [Colin] Munro, he played exceptionally.
Leus du Plooy also appreciated the leadership skills of Karachi Kings’ captain Shan Masood, with whom he knitted a 40-run stand for the second wicket.
