Dream11 Fantasy Tips
Match Prediction
The Islamabad United concluded third in the league standings for 2024 and went on to win the entire competition by beating the Multan Sultans in an exciting final. United is the most successful tea in PSL history and one of the favourites to capture PSL 2025. Not only have they captured the most league championships in competition history, but they have also appeared in the playoffs each year save one.
In regard to the Lahore Qalandars, they entered the 2024 season as two-time defending champions. But their season was a catastrophe at best as the Qalandars were last on the points table. The two-time league title winners will enter PSL 2025 with a vengeance
The 3 players to watch out for in the IU vs LQ Dream11 Prediction PSL 2025 are:
- Islamabad United captain and all-rounder Shadab Khan
- Lahore Qalandars
- Islamabad United pacer Naseem Shah
