ISL vs LAH Prediction: Two-time PSL champions Islamabad United take on the Lahore Qalandars in the 12th match of the season. Both sides have won two games each in three appearances made so far. Islamabad United, who are seated at the second spot in rankings with an NRR of +1.194, are heading into this match on the back of a 43-run win over the Quetta Gladiators. As far as the Lahore Qalandars are concerned, they are just a spot below the Islamabad-based franchise with an NRR of +0.557, and onto the course of registering a hat-trick of wins, having beaten the likes of Karachi Kings and Peshawar Zalmi in the last two encounters.
The 12th match of PSL 2022 will take place in the Karachi stadium, which also happens to be the first match of Saturday’s double-header duels. In Islamabad United’s lastly concluded match, which was against the Quetta Gladiators, Colin Munro (72*) emerged as the top-scorer and was eventually crowned as the Player of the Match in playing a pivotal role in posting a 229-run total
For the Lahore Qalandars, the spotlight’s shared equally by the likes of raging Fakhar Zaman, who’s probably belting every delivery across the fence, a veteran hard-hitter in Mohammed Hafeez, and key T20 bowlers in Shaheen Shah Afridi and Rashid Khan for getting the desirable breakthroughs.
ISL vs LAH Head to head: Overall, Islamabad United enjoys a 9-3 record in wins over the Lahore Qalandars.
For Islamabad United, Munro’s knock from the last contest was indeed a standout performance, however, the victory was possible because of the combined efforts from the likes Alex Hales, Paul Stirling and Azam Khan with the willow, and a mind-boggling exhibition from skipper Shadab Khan – who picked figures of 5/28 in his quota of four overs – and pacer Mohammad Wasim. And thus, the aforementioned would be backing themselves to post a solid show over Shaheen Afridi & Co.
Though Lahore Qalandars have ace T20 bowlers in Shaheen Shah Afridi and Rashid Khan to trouble the rivals, it’s their batting line-up that could crumble at the hands of Shadab’s men. Yes, Fakhar Zaman could score, but the others have to have a solid game to coast their way to a triumph. Taking into account the odds, ISL vs LAH Dream11 Team Prediction has Islamabad United to win his duel.
