Three finals, three titles: the Islamabad United PSL records start with a perfect finals record, with trophies in 2016, 2018 and 2024. The 123 games covered, from Feb 2016 to May 2026, produced 67 wins, 55 defeats and a single tie.
One player towers over the club tables. Shadab Khan is the leading run scorer and the leading wicket taker, and his 7 match awards equal Luke Ronchi’s club best. The figures below cover all 11 seasons the side has played.
Islamabad United titles and season record
United won 54.9 per cent of their decided PSL games, and they made the most of the good years. The first season, 2016, ended in a title from a 7 and 4 record. They took the 2018 title after an 8 and 3 record, and lifted the trophy again in 2024 after an 8 and 4 season. They have never lost a final in the data.
The 8 wins in 2021 are the one strong season that did not end in a trophy. Their leanest years were 2017 (4 won, 5 lost) and 2020, when only 3 of 9 games were won.
Recent seasons have been close to even: 2023 finished 6 to 5, 2025 was 6 apiece, and 2026 again 6 to 5. In 2026 they won six times in April alone, but the season closed with two defeats: by 70 runs to Peshawar Zalmi and by 2 runs to Hyderabad Kingsmen on 1 May 2026. The full league picture is on the PSL records page.

Shadab, Munro and the best single days
Shadab Khan has 1,586 runs and 122 wickets in his Islamabad career, and his 5/28 versus Quetta Gladiators (Feb 2022) came in a season when he also scored 91 against Multan Sultans.
