Islamabad United will face Lahore Qalandars in the 12th match of the PSL 2022 on Saturday, 5 February. The match, scheduled at Karachi’s National Stadium, will start at 2:30 pm PST.
Islamabad United and Lahore Qalandars will battle for supremacy as both teams look to solidify their position at the second spot in the PSL 2022 points table. Currently, Islamabad United are ranked at number two while Lahore Qalandars are at third. Both teams have a similar record as they have won two and lost one out of their opening three matches in the competition. Islamabad’s brilliant net run rate has helped them inch above Lahore in second place.
Islamabad United have been one of the most exciting teams in the tournament. Their explosive batting unit has clicked and they have scored heavily throughout the tournament. They were outstanding in their previous match against Quetta Gladiators as they scored the highest total in the tournament so far. They were excellent with the ball in hand as well but they will be looking to improve their bowling at the backend of the innings.

Lahore have been unusually remarkable. Their batting has clicked with Fakhar Zaman in a rich vein of form and their world-class bowling attack has been irresistible in the tournament so far. Captain Shaheen Afridi has had a terrific start to his captaincy career and he will be looking towards his team to continue their fine run of form. They do look less than impressive in the field. They dropped six catches in their previous encounter and would need to turn around their fortunes quickly as not many teams will let these many chances go unpunished.
Both the teams are likely to enter the field with the same line-ups as their previous match. Both the teams are well-balanced and it should prove to be a cracker of a game.
