Lahore Qalandars opt to bowl v Islamabad United

Lahore Qalandars have won the toss and will bowl first. Lahore will look to sustain the momentum from yesterday when they posted their first win on the board against an Islamabad side desperate from points themselves. They make two changes to the side that trounced Quetta Gladiators, with Fakhar Zaman replaced by former Pakistan captain Salman Butt, while injury to Shaheen Afridi sees Usman Shinwari come back in.

Islamabad have just two wins from six games and a poor win rate when batting first. They need to turn that around against what may yet be a resurgent Lahore, and make three changes to the team Karachi Kings beat on Sunday. Faheem Ashraf, Mohammad Musa and Saifi Abdullah are out, with Aqif Javed, Zafar Gohar and Hussain Talat included.

Islamabad United: Luke Ronchi (wk), Colin Munro, Rizwan Hussain, Colin Ingram, Shadab Khan (capt), Asif Ali, Hussain Talat, Dale Steyn, Shadab Khan, Rumman Raees, Zafar Gohar, Aqif Javed

Lahore Qalandars: Chris Lynn, Mohammad Hafeez, Ben Dunk (wk), Salman Butt, Sohail Akhtar (capt), Mohammad Faizan, Samit Patel, Sekkugge Prasanna, Usman Shinwari, Salman Irshad, Dilbar Hussain
