Following a grand ceremony, the season's first match, Game 1, is scheduled to be hosted from 9 PM at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. In the season opener, two heavyweight teams of the tournament, Islamabad United and Lahore Qalandars (LAH), will collide with each other in the season opener. Lahore Qalandars, the multiple-time PSL champion side, will step into the field to reclaim their kingdom. Last season, in 2024, was a nightmare for the Lahore-based franchise. They ended up their season journey with only one win out of 9 matches, the bottommost side in this 6-team tournament.

Qalandars has made a pretty strong and balanced squad this time to make sure the team doesn't suffer on the field. Lahore Qalandars produced their best season in 2023, where they emerged as champions with a 69.23 win ratio, 9 wins in 13 matches, and 4 defeats. LAH will definitely want to start PSL 2025 with a win over Islamabad United.

In the last five face-offs between these two teams, Qalandars better hand over United with 4 wins in 5. In their last match, Lahore surpassed Islamabad by 17 runs.
