Islamabad United to beat the Lahore Qalandars in a nail-biting contest based on the performance of their previous game. While the latter side seems to have a more in-form bowling unit, their batsmen have failed to replicate the same form. A win could certainly confirm their chances of finishing in the top two places for the playoffs. On the other hand, the likes of Hales, Munro, and Azam Khan can cause a problem if they bring their A-Game to the field. Considering the team combination, Islamabad United is expected to win this match.
