THE LOWDOWN
ISLAMABAD UNITED
- Islamabad United got back to winning ways in some style last time out, smashing an incredible 229/4 batting first against Quetta Gladiators, restricting their opponents to 186 all out in response.
- With a top three batting line-up consisting of Paul Stirling, Alex Hales and Colin Munro, failure to take early Islamabad wickets here will lead to some serious punishment with plenty of boundary hitting expected.
LAHORE QALANDARS
- Lahore Qalandars come into this encounter on the back of two straight wins having followed up their successful run chase against Karachi Kings, with a 29-run victory over Peshawar Zalmi.
- Key to the Qalandars success has not been their formidable bowling attack, but also the form of Fakhar Zaman at the top of the order, the Pakistan international having established himself as the highest run-scorer currently in PSL 7.
THE PREDICTION
Islamabad United’s batting against Lahore Qalandars’ bowling feels like a battle between the irresistible force and the immovable object. Whilst the pitches in Karachi have usually favoured the batting side, Lahore boast not only the pace bowling, but also the mystery spin required to restrict their opponents. Ultimately, if any team in this competition can cope with a top order as strong and powerful as Islamabad United, it’s this Lahore Qalandars unit, so back Shaheen Shah Afridi’s men to continue their recent form and make it three PSL 7 wins in a row.
