LAH vs ISL Prediction: In spite of a tight loss at the hands of Multan Sultans in the Qualifier, Lahore Qalandars have another shot at the Final as they take on the Islamabad United in the Eliminator 2 on February 25 (Friday) at Gaddafi Stadium. For Lahore Qalandars, the 28-run defeat in a chase of 164 occurred mainly as a result of their inability to perform as a batting unit, with frequent collapses throughout and a lone knock from Fakhar Zaman keeping them in the game. On the other hand, Islamabad United’s top and middle-order rose to the occasion in the 170-run chase against the Peshawar Zalmi in Eliminator 1, which at one point seemed off-limits, but courtesy of the sensational hitting from Alex Hales, Azam Khan, Faheem Ashraf and Liam Dawson to pull off the heroics in the end. All in all, another ripper of a battle is up for a show in this fixture as well, for the winner will face the Multan Sultans in the Final.
Our LAH vs ISL Dream11 Team Prediction picks Lahore Qalandars as the favorite to win this match.
