RAIN or Shine and Meralco give fans up North what to expect in Season 50 of the PBA as it plays in a friendly on Saturday at Ilagan City, Isabela.
The exhibition match at the Capital Arena is set at 6 p.m.
The Elasto Painters-Bolts tussle comes two weeks before the league's golden season officially kicks off on Oct. 5 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
Rain or Shine has been on a roll so far in the off-season, winning its first two friendlies against Converge and NLEX.
The two matches also saw new acquisition Stanley Pringle finally donning the Elasto Painters' jersey.

Meralco meanwhile, is coming off a loss against Converge in a similar friendly prior to the team's departure for Cagayan Valley.
The game serves as dry run for the league to possibly stage an out-of-town game in Isabela for the coming 50th season.(RG)
