PSL 2022, Eliminator 2, Lahore Qalandars vs Islamabad United: Preview, fantasy tips, probable XIs Image

Lahore Qalandars will host Islamabad United at Gaddafi Stadium for a place in the final of the Pakistan Super League 2022. 

Lahore Qalandars lost the Qualifier to Multan Sultans by 28 runs. They were unable to chase 164 despite a fifty by Fakhar Zaman. The Qalandars batting unit is heavily reliant on Fakhar, who is the leading run-getter of the tournament. 

Kamran Ghulam has blown hot and cold throughout the season, while Mohammad Hafeez has not been at his best with the bat. Shaheen Shah Afridi and Haris Rauf will lead the pace attack.

Islamabad United, meanwhile, beat Peshawar Zalmi by five wickets in Eliminator 1. Faheem Ashraf was adjudged Player of the Match for his quick 19 and economical spell. They chased down 170 with three balls to spare.

Alex Hales marked his comeback that day with a 49-ball 62. They have a strong middle order in Shadab Khan, Azam Khan, and Asif Ali.
