Lahore Qalandars vs Islamabad United Betting Tips 19/02/2022

Zohaib Ahmed, Senior Author

The 27th fixture of the Pakistan Super League 2022 sees Lahore Qalandars take on Islamabad United at Gaddafi Stadium on Feb 19 (Saturday). The match is to begin at 8pm IST.

Teams Status

Lahore Qalandars

Lahore Qalandars suffered a massive upset on Friday when they were beaten by none other than Karachi Kings – by far the worst side in the competition.

The Qalandars, having dismissed the port city side for just 149, must have felt good about their chances of adding another easy win to their tally.

However, they lost Fakhar Zaman in just the second over of their innings and sucked the life out of their run chase. As Karachi bowler Mir Hamza picked up wicket after wicket, the Qalandars’ pursuit of 150 got derailed.

Mohammad Hafeez top scored with 33, while Harry Brook (26) and David Wiese (31) showed some resistance later but no one else spent much time at the crease as Karachi got off the mark in the competition.

A defeat to the league’s worst side could potentially do Lahore’s confidence a world of harm. Thus, it will be important to see how they react here.

Islamabad United

Islamabad are currently holding the fourth and final playoffs spot, thanks to their haul of eight being two more than fifth-placed Quetta Gladiators’ tally of six.

The capital city side have played a game less than Quetta so that’s another big advantage.

However, they have lost two of their last three games so the management must also have an eye on the loss column, to which an addition was made on Thursday when they lost to Peshawar Zalmi.

The defeat came in an unsuccessful but not unimpressive run chase. Islamabad were on track to chasing down a gargantuan 206 when Azam Khan – who had been on fire until then – was holed out in the penultimate over, which derailed the run chase.

Tipster’s Angle

Tip: Islamabad United to win @ 2.32

Both these teams are equally strong even if Lahore have more wins and points. Granted that Islamabad do have a few more injuries but still then they have a lot of talent left on their books to give Lahore a run for their money. They also need this win more than Lahore, and so might try harder. On the other hand, Lahore have just lost to the lowly Karachi Kings, which could affect their confidence. Therefore, we’re going to back Islamabad in this race. The odds have been sourced from Sportsbet.

Tip: Danish Aziz to score more than 21.5 runs @ 1.87

Danish Aziz got out of a duck in the last game, which was his first of the tournament. After that, no one would want to back him. However, those who follow Pakistan’s domestic circuit, would know what kind of a batsman he is. The lefty from Karachi is super talented and has delivered several memorable performances in Pakistan Cup. We’d back him to do much better in his second try of the tournament. The odds have been sourced from Parimatch.

Conclusion

The last time these two met, Lahore won by a slim margin. We again envisage a slim win but this time for Islamabad.
