PSL 2023: Match 26, ISL vs LAH Match Prediction – Who will win today’s PSL match?

After a thrilling victory against Multan Sultans in their previous match, Islamabad United will now take on Lahore Qalandars in their next game on March 9 at Pindi Club Ground in Rawalpindi. Notably, the Qalandars have won five out of their last six games in the league and are in phenomenal form at the moment. Even though they lost to Peshawar Zalmi in their previous match, the Shaheen Shah Afridi-led side will not be much worried and would hope to make a thumping return against Islamabad.

Now when it comes to the hosts, they have also managed to win five out of their last six matches and interestingly, only lost to the Qalandars in the middle. They are currently on a three-match winning streak as their batting has been brilliant in the middle. Now, ahead of the qualifiers, they need to work on their bowling a bit as the Shadab Khan-led side has leaked a lot of runs in these matches.
