Islamabad United (IU) travels to Lahore for a challenging battle against the local team in Match 16 of the Pakistan Super League after their commanding victory over Quetta Gladiators in their most recent match (PSL). On February 27, in Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium, Shaheen Afridi’s Lahore Qalandars (LQ) and Islamabad will square off.
Although it is too soon to assess the points standings, both clubs will keep accumulating crucial points in order to guarantee their spot in the last four. Shaheen and company are yet to keep up their consistency and put out their best effort as they attempt to defeat the visitors at home.
Having said that, the Shadab Khan-led team has won their last two games, so it may be a close match that gives spectators a tantalizing matchup on Monday in Lahore.
IU Vs LQ
Match Details:
Islamabad United vs Lahore Qalandars, 16th Match, PSL 2023
Venue: Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore
Date & Time: February 27, 2023, 7:00 PM PST

Pitch Report:
The wicket at Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium features a surface that is conducive to batting and offers very little support for bowlers. A score in this range might be quite competitive because the first-inning average score in this area is 160. Any captain who wins the toss may choose to bat first.
Probable Playing XI:
Islamabad United (IU):
Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Rassie van der Dussen, Shadab Khan (C), Azam Khan (WK), Asif Ali, Faheem Ashraf, Mubasir Khan, Hasan Ali, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Abrar Ahmed, Colin Munro
Lahore Qalandars (LQ):
Fakhar Zaman, Kamran Ghulam, Shai Hope (WK), Hussain Talat, Sikandar Raza, David Wiese, Rashid Khan, Mirza Tahir Baig, Shaheen Afridi (C), Haris Rauf, Zaman Khan
Probable Best Performers
Probable best batter:
Azam Khan:
The keeper-batter for Islamabad has been in outstanding form and is one of the PSL’s top run scorers. In the previous game, Azam’s explosive performance helped the team surpass the 200-run threshold. In the upcoming match, he plans to play another critical inning.
Probable best bowler:
Shaheen Afridi:
Shaheen has been magnificent with the ball while Azam Khan has been in excellent form for United. He will try to put the other squad under strain with his devastating deliveries and secure crucial victories. It would be interesting to see how Shaheen’s bowling performs at home despite the surface not really helping the bowlers.
