Islamabad United (IU), who recently defeated Multan Sultans in an exciting triumph, will now play Lahore Qalandars (LQ) on March 9 at Rawalpindi’s Pindi Club Field. Importantly, the Qalandars are in incredible form right now, having won five of their past six league games. Shaheen Shah Afridi’s team won’t be very concerned after losing to Peshawar Zalmi in their last game and will be hoping to rebound against Islamabad.
The hosts, meanwhile, have won five of their most recent six games with an intriguing one-loss streak against the Qalandars in the midst. They are now on a three-match winning streak as their batting has been excellent in the middle. They now need to improve their bowling a little more before the qualifiers since the Shadab Khan-led team has been leaking a lot of runs in these games.
