LAH vs QUE 18th Match Probable Winners:

Table toppers taking on the bottom-placed team. It looks like an easy pick. Lahore have consistent batters, a deep lineup, and a home advantage. Whereas, Quetta Gladiators lack partnerships and the bowlers are out of form too. Nevertheless, there is great potential in the Quetta batting order with some of the biggest T20 stars in the lineup. Considering the team combination, Lahore Qalandars is expected to win this match.

The team at the top of the table plays the team on the bottom as we have a clash of the consistent vs inconsistent.

LAH vs QUE Key Players

Shaheen Shah Afridi

After hobbling off in the World Cup Final, Shaheen Shah Afridi is finally set to make a comeback. He has struggled with injury over the last six months quite a bit and will probably be closer to frustrated than ever as he makes his comeback, hoping his fitness and knee hold through.

Mohammad Nawaz

Mohammad Nawaz has had a good year as an all-rounder in limited overs cricket and is doing a fine job with both bat and ball. His ability in the middle-order and the control he provides with the ball in the middle-overs leaves him as a potential threat to be one of the more impactful players in the tournament.

LAH vs QUE Match Tips

Lahore come in as favorites with the table indicating a clear mismatch in sides.

Match Prediction: Islamabad United Will Win the Match
