Time: 8 PM
Venue: Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore
Preview:
After the last ball encounter in eliminator 1, Lahore Qalandars will lock horns with Islamabad United in the Eliminator 2 of PSL 2022 on Friday. Rashid Khan-less Qalandars fell short of 28-runs against Multan Sultans in Qualifier 1. Fakhar Zaman's 63 off 45 could not help the team from losing the game and they will have the last opportunity to seal their spot and avenge their previous defeat in the ultimate clash against Multan Sultans. Meanwhile, Shadab Khan-led United are coming after a close win against Peshawar Zalmi by 5-wickets. Both sides have done fairly well in the tournament, and in order to secure their berth in the finals, they will have to bring the best out of their players on Friday.

Team Analysis:
Lahore Qalandars:
Fakhar Zaman is their standout batter in the tournament; he has scored consistently for the team. In 11 matches, he has amassed 584-runs at an average of 53.09, including one century and seven half-centuries. His presence in the fantasy team is a must. Kamran Ghulam is another batter to watch out for in a must-win game. Amongst the all-rounders, Harry Brooks should make the cut in the squad. His recent 100 off 49 came against Islamabad United, and the batter has the potential to treat their fans with yet another power-packed knock. Shaheen Afridi, the skipper, is leading the pace attack for the team and his recent show with the bat against Sultans makes him a lethal package. He has scalped 15 wickets in 11 matches in this tournament at an economy of 7.54 with the best figures of 3 for 40. His presence in the fantasy team is mandatory.
Islamabad United:
Alex Hales has made things easy for United. His match-winning knock of 62-runs in the 1st Eliminator against Peshawar Zalmi speaks volumes of his current form. He has scored 317 runs at an average of 45.28. Skipper Shadab has done phenomenally well with bat and bowl. His all-rounder performance in the tournament was one of the biggest takeaways from the 7th season of PSL 2022. He has scored 254-runs at an average of 36.28 and clinched 18 wickets at an economy of 6.42. Faheem Ashraf is another all-rounder who should be in the fantasy team. He has scored 121 runs and picked up 9-wickets in the tournament. Hasan Ali and Azam Khan are two other players to watch from the United squad and can assure some valuable points.
