Match Prediction Lahore Qalandars v Islamabad United, Eliminator 2 Pakistan Super League 2022 – Who will win today’s match?
It is the second Eliminator and Lahore Qalandars will be up against Islamabad United at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore.
Lahore Qalandars have had a pretty good run in this PSL 2022. They finished second on the points table at the end of the league stages as they returned with six wins and four losses (one loss in the Super Over). However, they went down against a rampant Multan Sultans side in the Qualifier and they now look to reach their second-ever PSL final.
On the other hand, Islamabad United entered the playoffs on the back of three consecutive defeats. Their overall win-loss record at the end of the league stages was 4-6 and they were fourth. But they turned it around with a nail-biting final-over finish against Peshawar Zalmi in the first Eliminator. The two-time champions will be aiming to reach their third PSL final.
As far as head to head records are concerned, Islamabad United are ahead with nine wins. Meanwhile, Lahore Qalandars have won just five. However, three of those wins for Lahore Qalandars have come in the last five encounters against Islamabad United.

Who will win today’s match Lahore Qalandars v Islamabad United, Eliminator 2 Pakistan Super League 2022??
Lahore Qalandars have fired pretty well with the ball, especially their pace attack. Shaheen Afridi has led from the front more often than not. Zaman Khan has been really impressive. Even though he has been expensive, Haris Rauf has been amongst the wickets. All the three bowlers have taken 13+ wickets in this tournament. And the batting has been largely reliant on Fakhar Zaman who has shown unreal consistency and has eight fifty-plus scores in 11 innings. The likes of Mohammad Hafeez, Harry Brook and Kamran Ghulam have been a touch inconsistent.
On the other hand, Islamabad United have been bolstered by the return of Alex Hales and skipper Shadab Khan. The latter has had a phenomenal season with both bat and ball. He has scored 254 runs and has taken 18 wickets, which is the second-highest and highest respectively for Islamabad United. Hales has looked solid at the top in the eight games he has played and he adds some firepower. Azam Khan has chipped in with some crucial knocks in the middle-order and Liam Dawson has shown some good all-round skills.
Despite a good win in the Eliminator 1 and a superior head to head record against Lahore Qalandars, Islamabad United will start as the underdogs. Lahore Qalandars’ bowling attack and the consistency throughout the league phase makes them slight favourites.
Game changers for Lahore Qalandars v Islamabad United, Eliminator 2 Pakistan Super League 2022
