Islamabad United were dismissed for 137, and RawalPindiz chased the target with ease in 18.1 overs to claim a six-wicket victory.<\/p>\n<p>Ronchi appeared visibly frustrated after the defeat, and that mood carried into his media interaction. The tension rose when a journalist cut in while he was still responding to a question, prompting Ronchi to snap at the interruption.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking in the moment, Ronchi said, \u201cHe can ask me a question, I don\u2019t give a s**t.\u201d The outburst immediately created an awkward atmosphere in the room, with a media coordinator stepping in quickly to calm things down and remind journalists to maintain decorum during the conference.<\/p>\n<h3>Quick facts<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>PSL 2026 post-match press conference in New Delhi turned tense after Islamabad United\u2019s defeat.<\/li>\n<li>Islamabad United were all out for 137.<\/li>\n<li>RawalPindiz chased down the target in 18.1 overs to win by six wickets.<\/li>\n<li>Luke Ronchi\u2019s frustration spilled over after a journalist interrupted him mid-answer.<\/li>\n<li>Ronchi\u2019s remark included: \u201cHe can ask me a question, I don\u2019t give a s**t.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>RawalPindiz end a run of setbacks<\/h3>\n<p>Even though RawalPindiz were still out of the playoff picture, the result offered them a long-awaited reason to celebrate. The franchise was in its first PSL season and had endured a tough spell, losing eight matches in a row before this game.<\/p>\n<p>Against Islamabad United, they managed to swing the momentum in their penultimate outing. Their bowling attack, led by Mohammad Amir and Saad Masood, restricted Islamabad United to a below-par total, setting up a chase that never truly got away from them.<\/p>\n<p>In response, Rizwan played a composed 45-run innings to keep the pursuit on track, ensuring the chase stayed steady until RawalPindiz secured their maiden PSL win.<\/p>\n<h3>Islamabad United remain in contention<\/h3>\n<p>While the loss hurt Islamabad United, it did not end their playoff hopes. They have won four matches out of eight so far and sit third on the points table with nine points.<\/p>\n<p>With two league games left, Ronchi\u2019s team will now aim to bounce back quickly and gather momentum, starting with matches against Hyderabad Kingsmen and Multan Sultans.<\/p>\n<p>As the PSL season progresses, the focus will now be on whether Islamabad United can respond to the disappointment on the field\u2014and whether their camp can keep the intensity in check when the next media duties arrive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A post-match press
