ISL vs LAH Match Preview

Lahore Qalandars will face Islamabad United in Lahore on Saturday evening, kicking off the 2024 Pakistan Super League. The Qalandars finished first in the group stage last year and went on to win the competition. The team from Islamabad finished third in their group and overall placed fourth in 2023. Last season, Lahore Qalandars became the very first team to defend their PSL title, and this season they hope to win three in a row! Islamabad United finished last season’s tournament in poor form, but they have a talented squad to draw from this season. However, they weren’t able to request for a more difficult opponent to begin this campaign with, and they may struggle to compete.

Topmost Picks for ISL vs LAH Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – Islamabad United

• Colin Munro – The 36 year old is a busy man in T20 cricket so he often arrives at tournaments in good form and full of match practice. This will be the same after leaving the ILT20 earlier this week.
• Tymal Mills – The left-arm pace bowler has suffered plenty of injuries over his career but comes into this tournament after building up his fitness for Desert Vipers in the ILT20.

Top Picks – Lahore Qalandars

• Rassie van der Dussen – The South African right-hander went past 5000 T20 runs during the SA20 and he will enjoy the pace on offer from this pitch.
• Haris Rauf – The right-arm pace bowler has just had his central contract cancelled due to a dispute with the PSL and will have a point to prove in this game!

ISL vs LAH Probable Winners:

Cricket fans around the world will be thrilled to see the PSL return, as it frequently produces some of the highest-scoring T20 matches. It would be surprising if this game did not feature a high-scoring contest, and we believe Lahore Qalandars’ top order will be too strong. We predict that Lahore Qalandars will get off to a winning start in the 2024 tournament. Considering the team combination, Lahore Qalandars is expected to win this match.
