Lahore Qalandars vs Islamabad United prediction

Despite the absence of Fakhar Zaman, Lahore Qalandars still managed to get back to winning ways against Multan Sultans, beating them by 20 runs. However, they now leave their home stadium to play in Karachi with an in-form Islamabad United waiting for them. On the back of winning their last two matches, both resounding run chases, Islamabad are in a good position to kick on.

The carrot of moving into second-place at least temporarily won’t be lost on Shadab Khan’s men and when taking into account their batting prowess, they’ll be hard for Lahore’s bowlers to contain. You’d expect the Qalandars to find it tougher outside of their home city and backing Islamabad warrants serious consideration.
