Pakistan T20 League 2024

Match 23: ISL vs LAH

Preview

Islamabad United will cross swords with Lahore Qalandars for the 23rd match of the ongoing Pakistan T20 League. The game is scheduled to be played at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on Wednesday, March 6. 

Islamabad has collected 7 points from 7 games and with three wins they are sitting in fourth place in the points table. Lahore, on the other hand, is placed at the bottom of the chart and are still in search of their first win. 

ISL have not lost a single game since March 13 when they were defeated by Peshawar Zalmi. Since then they enjoyed two victories against Karachi Kings and Peshawar in the reverse encounter. This match is probably in their grip against the out-of-form Lahore side. 

LAH only has a single point under their belt, that too with the grace of poor weather and not a good performance. The Qalandars are in desperate need of a win if they want to make a solid comeback in this season of the Pakistan T20 League.

Match Prediction

Lahore Qalandars are having their worst season so far. The Shaheen Afridi-led side hasn’t won a single match and failed miserably to perform as a team. Islamabad, on the other hand, has shown good signs of development and has depth in their batting order which gives them an edge to perform better and win this duel.
