Our Prediction
-
After a first win of the season in their last match, inspired by Ben Dunk's 93 from 43 balls, Lahore Qalandars play their second of back-to-back 'home' games as they look to back that win up.
-
Dunk's magnificent innings set them up for a total of 209/5, and Salman Irshad took 4-30 to bowl Quetta out for 172 in reply – Lahore's first win in eight matches.
-
Islamabad United, on the other hand, have hit a rut with two defeats either side of a rained-off match against Peshawar Zalmi. They could not defend 183/3 last time out.
Lahore Qalandars vs Islamabad United Match Prediction, PSL 2020
Back to winning ways at last, Lahore Qalandars will hope another match in Lahore at the Gaddafi Stadium can inspire them to maintain that form. They face Islamabad United on March 4, with the live action getting underway at 19:00 local time.
After a seven-match losing streak stretching back to last season, the decision to bring Ben Dunk back into the team paid huge dividends last time out as he smashed 93 from 43 balls in a total of 209/5 against Quetta Gladiators. Salman Irshad then took 4-30 in a 37-run win.
While the Qalandars have got back to winning ways, Islamabad United are on a winless streak of their own. Defeats to Quetta and Karachi Kings, failing to defend 187/7 and 183/3 either side of a rained-off match, have seen them drop to fourth in the table.
