Islamabad United have won 6 of their 8 matches and are in the 2nd position in the points table. They have won their last three games in a row and will be the confident side coming into this game. Their all-rounders, especially Faheem Ashraf have been brilliant for them. Azam Khan has been in exceptional touch as well while Shadab regained his form in the last game. The likes of Alex Hales and Rahmanullah Gurbaz must start performing now as the business end of the tournament is very near. Islamabad lost their first game against Lahore by 110 runs and they’ll look to settle the score in this game.
Lahore Qalandars have also won 6 out 8 games but they are at the top of the points table because of their superior net run rate. They also have issues with their top order as Fakhar Zaman has failed in the last few games while the others have been a little inconsistent as well. Sikandar Raza has been consistent with the bat while Shaheen Afridi is also looking good with both bat and ball. Lahore is one of the best sides in the tournament and they’ll look to do a double on Islamabad by winning this game.

It will be a run-fest at Rawalpindi as the pitch is a belter for batting and both the teams have very strong batting units. 240 was chased down in the 19th over in the last game. The pitch is flat and the boundaries are on the smaller side. There will be some movement for the pacers in the power play but overall the batters will dominate this game. The average first innings score here is 199 runs. Chasing sides have won 5 out of the 7 games in Rawalpindi.
It will be a clear day with no chance of rain.
