Lahore Qalandars will take on Islamabad United in the 16th match of the Pakistan Super League 2023. 

LAH vs ISL: Match Preview:

Lahore Qalandars are coming in from a 40-run win last night, which marks their 3rd win in 4 matches. Qalandars batters unexpectedly scored big as they posted 241/3 in 20 overs while batting first. Fakhar Zaman was the top scorer with 96 runs off just 45 balls, while Abdullah Shafique smacked 75 runs off 41 balls. Sam Billings finished off with an unbeaten 47 runs in 23 balls. 

Skipper Shaheen Shah Afridi led the bowling attack from the front with a wicket off the second bowl of the innings, eventually finishing with a 5-wicket haul while conceding 40 runs in 4 overs. Zaman Khan picked up 2 wickets while Haris Rauf and Rashid Khan managed 1 wicket each. However, Rashid was unusually expensive as he went for 49 runs in 4 overs. 

Islamabad United have also registered 3 wins in 4 matches, currently holding the 2nd position just above Lahore Qalandars. Azam Khan has scored the most runs for Islamabad with 166 runs in 4 matches at a strike rate of 184.44. Colin Munro has 136 runs in 4 matches, followed by Rassie van der Dussen with 123 runs. Rahmanullah Gurbaz scored a thunderous 62 in the first match he played but followed it up with an 8-run knock and eyes would be on the Afghan to provide an explosive start to his team. 

Hasan Ali has picked up the most wickets for Islamabad United with 6 wickets in just 2 matches, while Rumman Raees and captain Shadab Khan have picked up 4 wickets each in 3 and 4 matches respectively. Fazalhaq Farooqi played his first match of PSL 8 in Islamabad's last game and ended up with 3 wickets for just 28 runs in 4 overs.
