Peshawar Zalmi Team Preview
Last year’s season for Peshawar Zalmi was quite successful as they made it to the final before losing the most important match to Multan Sultans. Undoubtedly, they were one of the most consistent teams in the history of the tournament, and their fourth final in the latest release says a lot about it. Peshawar Zalmi got off to a great start this year and comfortably defeated Quetta Gladiators in a high-scoring match. Thereafter, however, they suffered heavy losses at the hands of Islamabad United, falling fifth in the points table in the process. He currently has two points from two matches and his net run rate is -1.052.
Batting
Peshawar Zalmi has a stellar batting line-up that can perform well in all conditions. This was evident in both their matches as they managed to score a decent total despite their top-order not performing. With the experience available in the form of Shoaib Malik and Schreffen Rutherford in the middle order, Peshawar Zalmi has the batting unit of any kind.
Bowling
However, Zalmi struggled with the ball and this proved to be the main reason for his downfall in their match against Islamabad United. A lot will depend on how well they perform with the ball in this upcoming match and if their bowlers keep things tight, Peshawar will surely be able to make a comeback.
Predicted 11
Tom Kohler-Cudmore (wk), Yasir Khan, Haider Ali, Shoaib Malik (c), Hussain Talat, Sherfan Rutherford, Ben Cutting, Sohail Khan, Patrick Brown, Zameen Gul, Usman Qadir
Lahore Qalandars Team Preview
Lahore Qalandars had a poor performance last year and they would like to leave it behind and make a great start this year. What was more surprising last year was that the Qalandars finished fifth, despite winning five of their first six matches. Surprisingly, Qalandars are the only team that is yet to win the title in the last six years. Qalandars have once again shown great faith in their core players and have named Shaheen Shah Afridi as the captain of the team.
Batting
On the batting front, Lahore are a bit heavily dependent on Fakhar Zaman at the top of the order. The presence of Mohammad Hafeez, Samit Patel, David Wiese and Ben Dunk in the middle order gives them a good cushion. They will need to attack straight away in this upcoming match and if they are able to play to the best of their ability, it is going to be very difficult to get past Qalandar. Chasing a total of 171 runs in the previous match, Lahore Qalandars did a fine job as they took a total of six wickets in hand with four balls to spare.
Bowling
With the availability of seven players who can bowl, Qalandars have an excellent bowling attack which includes both Shaheen Shah Afridi and Rashid Khan. Haris Rauf stepped up his game beautifully in the last match and he would be keen to do the same again. As in the points table, Lahore Qalandars are at the fourth position with one win and one loss so far. They faced defeat at the hands of Multan Sultans in the opening match of PSL 2022, but then came back after this match with a resounding win over Karachi Kings.
Predicted 11
Fakhar Zaman, Abdullah Shafiq, Mohammad Hafeez, Kamran Ghulam, Ben Dunk (wk), Samit Patel, David Weiss, Rashid Khan, Shaheen Afridi (c), Haris Rauf, Zaman Khan
