Interestingly, the Islamabad United and Lahore Qalandars met against each other in last season's opener as well, with the former bagging an eight-wicket comfortable win. However, in their reverse fixture, they suffered a 17-run loss to the same team.

However, with both sides making good enough changes to their squads, we can see differences in the result in this particular fixture.

ISL vs LAH PSL 2025 Match 1 Winner Prediction

Match Winner: Lahore Qalandars

Islamabad United come into this opening fixture as the defending champions after defeating the Multan Sultans in the grand finale of the last season. On the other hand, Lahore Qalandars settled with the wooden spoon last time around.

That said, the Qalandars have made some important changes to their squad with enough depth being visible. We can expect them to come out on top with a comfortable win over the defending champions.
