LAH vs ISL Dream11 Team Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips & Playing 11 Updates for Today's PSL 2021 Match - June 9th, 2021

Match 15 of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2021 will see Lahore Qalandars take on Islamabad United at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday.

The Lahore Qalandars were the team to beat in the first half of the PSL with three wins in four games. Riding on the exploits of Fakhar Zaman and Shaheen Afridi, the Qalandars were well on course for a top-four finish. Although the suspension of the PSL could derail their push, the Qalandars can now avail the services of Rashid Khan for the entire tournament. With James Faulkner and Callum Ferguson adding some much-needed experience, the Qalandars are well-equipped to take on the challenge.

Their opponents, Islamabad United, were also impressive in their first leg of the PSL. Like Lahore, Islamabad also won three of their first four games, with Hasan Ali rekindling his best form for his new team. With Usman Khawaja and Colin Munro taking up overseas spots for the second phase, Islamabad United will look to restart their PSL 2021 campaign with a win.

Although both teams look well-matched on paper, Islamabad might just hold the advantage, owing to their superior balance and squad depth. Nevertheless, we should be in for a cracking start to the second phase of the PSL, with both teams looking to get a headstart in the race for a top-two finish.

Pitch Report

The pitch at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium is a decent one to bat on with ample help on offer for the pacers. Although the new-ball bowlers will look to maximize the conditions, the ball should skid nicely on to the bat. There isn't much spin available off the surface, with the batsmen likely to target the shorter sides of the ground. With dew playing a factor, both teams will look to chase upon winning the toss. 170-180 should be a great total at the venue, with the pitch likely to get better under the lights.
