LHQ vs ISU 1st Match Preview
The 9th edition of the Pakistan Super League is about to get underway this week as the defending champions, the Lahore Qalandars, will take on Islamabad United at the Gaddafi on Saturday.
HEAD-TO-HEAD RECORD
Both teams have faced each other in 17 matches so far. Islamabad has won 9 of those matches, while Lahore has won 8.
TEAM PREVIEWS
LAHORE QALANDARS
The Lahore Qalandars were brilliant in the last season. The team finished at the top of the points table during the group stage and also went on to lift the title for the second time in a row. As the team begins a fresh campaign, they will look to get a strong start.
The Lahore Qalandars have one of the strongest seam attacks in the league and will bank on it to deliver the goods. The new ball attack will be led by Shaheen Shah Afridi, who was among the top 5 wicket-takers of the last edition. He will be joined by Haris Rauf, Zaman Khan, and Mohammad Irfan.
With Rashid Khan unavailable for the entire season, the spin attack does seem over-reliant on Sikandar Raza, who features in the squad as an all-rounder. With the likes of Shai Hope and Rassie van der Dussen also pulling out of the season, the batting does appear to be a weak spot for the Qalandars.
They will now be heavily reliant on the performance of Fakhar Zaman and Abdullah Shafique. The middle order too seems to be weak in the absence of quality international talent.
ISLAMABAD UNITED
Islamabad United are among the most successful teams in the PSL and have lifted the trophy twice to date. They made it to the playoffs in each of the last 3 seasons and will hope to do the same this time around.
Islamabad seems to have found the perfect mix of domestic and international talent. The batting unit consists of T20 specialists from around the world, including Jordan Cox, Alex Hales, and Colin Munro, who will join forces with Azam Khan and Agha Salman to help the team post a match-winning total.
The squad also has some quality all-rounders like Imad Wasim, Shadab Khan, and Tom Curran, who have plenty of experience playing in the shortest format. The seam attack will be led by Pakistan international Naseem Shah and will be supported by Tymall Mills, Rumman Raees, and Matthew Forde.
However, just like the Qalandars, Islamabad too will be heavily reliant on the all-rounders to deliver in the spin department.
