Pakistan Super League – 2021

LAH vs ISL, Match – 15, The match is all set to take place at Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi

Preview –

Both Lahore Qalandars and Islamabad United have won three games each out of their four outings so far. Islamabad United is stationed at number 3, owing to a better run-rate while Lahore Qalandars finds themselves at number 4, just below their opponents. Interestingly, in head-to-head encounters, Islamabad United holds an edge over Lahore Qalandars. Islamabad United has not lost to Qalandars in the last five head-to-head meetings.

With a couple of foreign players missing out, especially the English players, it will be a real test for both sides in this Abu Dhabi leg. Also, needless to say, the pitches in UAE are comparatively slower than the pitches in Pakistan, where the first phase took place, and it will be interesting to watch how quickly the teams adapt to this change. And, with the due coming in the second innings, it is going to be a lot tougher to defend.

Pitch Report –

It’s a balanced wicket with equal help for both batters and bowlers, batting will become much easier in the latter half of the match. Anything close to 180 is a good competitive score on this wicket.
