Match Prediction Lahore Qalandars vs Islamabad United, 27th Match Pakistan Super League 2022
It is match number 27 in the 2022 edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) and an in-form Lahore Qalandars side will be up against an inconsistent Islamabad United line-up. This is the penultimate league game for both sides.
Lahore Qalandars have had a superb run in this tournament. They lost their first game but since then, they have won five out of their six games. With 10 points, they are second on the points table and another win might almost seal their spot in the top two.
On the other hand, Islamabad United just haven’t been able to build any sort of momentum. They have won and lost alternately and that’s been the story for eight games now (four wins and four losses). But their losses haven’t been by huge margins and it’s more of narrow defeats. While a win might more or less guarantee them a place in the top four but they will want to win both their remaining encounters to build some momentum ahead of the knockouts.
As far as head to head records are concerned, Islamabad United are well ahead. They have won nine and Lahore Qalandars have won just four.

Who will win today’s match Lahore Qalandars vs Islamabad United, 27th Match Pakistan Super League 2022?
Lahore Qalandars may not have the best head to head record against Islamabad United but they are in some very good form at the moment and may even start as favourites. They even beat the two-time champions earlier this season.
The Shaheen Afridi-led side has been largely successful because of their powerful bowling attack. The skipper himself, Haris Rauf, Rashid Khan and Zaman Khan have all been amongst the wickets and have led the charge. With the bat, Fakhar Zaman has shown the way with some unreal consistency and he has been the rock at the top for them. The others have chipped in around him pretty well too.
On the other hand, Shadab Khan has led from the front with both bat and ball for Islamabad United and he has been phenomenal. But an injury to him and the unavailability of Colin Munro and Alex Hales who performed consistently well has given Islamabad a big jolt. Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Azam Khan seem to be the X-factors and they will need to deliver with the bat. The bowling has been a touch up and down and there is a heavy reliance on Shadab Khan and Waqas Maqsood. Apart from that, none of them have really stepped up.
