PSL 2021 Match 15: Lahore Qalandars vs Islamabad United | Preview, probable XIs, match prediction and live streaming details

After all the confusion and controversy, the Pakistan Super League (PSL 2021) will resume in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday, with Lahore Qalandars taking on Islamabad United.

When the tournament was suspended, Lahore Qalandars and Islamabad United were among the PSL teams in form in PSL 2021. Both sides had won three and lost just one of their four matches.

In their previous encounter in PSL 2021, Lahore Qalandars defeated Karachi Kings by six wickets as Shaheen Afridi (3 for 27) and Fakhar Zaman (83 off 54) starred with bat and ball, respectively.

They will also be buoyed by the return of match-winning leg-spinner Rashid Khan for the second half of PSL 2021.

Lahore Qalandars were, however, dealt a blow when it was revealed that their wicketkeeper-batsman Ben Dunk had injured himself during a practice session in Abu Dhabi. Dunk received seven stitches on his lips after taking a nasty hit.

Islamabad United also tasted success in their last game of PSL 2021 before the T20 league was halted. Faheem Ashraf claimed 3/11 to restrict Quetta Gladiators to 156 for 7.

Paul Stirling’s smashing 56 from 33 balls then took them to victory with three overs to spare.

Despite their impressive start in the first half of PSL 2021, Lahore Qalandars and Islamabad United will have to begin from scratch as the event resumes in Abu Dhabi.

Lahore Qalandars vs. Islamabad United Pitch Report

The pitch at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi has something to offer both batsmen and bowlers.

Out of the 33 T20 matches played at the venue, 14 matches have been won by the team batting first and 19 by the team batting second.

However, teams have found it difficult chasing scores above 150, so it would be important to restrict the side batting first.
