Match Preview

Lahore Qalandars

The Lahore team has done a good job in the league until now. They have played four games, won two, and lost the remaining two. Their net run rate is +1.095, and due to this effort, they have earned four points.

Qalandars are in third position currently in the points table. The Lahore team comes into this match on the back of a defeat against Multan Sultans. Still, they won their last two matches. They have won two out of their last five matches.

Abdullah Shafique will be Lahore's batting line-up captain in this game. He has scored 241 runs in his last six games at a strike rate of 149.68 and an average of 48.2. Fakhar Zaman has scored 230 runs in his last five games at a strike rate of 163.12 and an average of 46.

Asif Afridi has also picked eleven wickets in his previous eight games and has a strike rate of 13.81. Lahore has the best bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi. He has picked nine wickets in his previous six games and has a strike rate of 14.66.

Peshawar Zalmi

Peshawar Zalmi badly need a victory here in order to remain in contention. They won merely one among the four of them so far. PSZ registered their one triumph against Multan in Rawalpindi in defending the goal of a 227-run score.

Following their easy win in that game, the poor performance of Peshawar Zalmi didn't stop, and they were again short by 150 runs. Their batting this season has been very disappointing and is primarily the cause for their three losses out of four matches.

Captain Babar Azam is below par. His failure to make runs and disappointing strike rate is a big issue for PSZ. His opening partner, Saim Ayyub, a good batsman with good starts, has achieved single figures only in his past three innings.

Dependence in the batting is placed heavily on the middle order duo of Tom Kohler-Cadmore and Mohammad Haris. These two have been among PSZ's most consistent run-scorers and are likely to spearhead the batting once more.

The batting order is good, with Mitchell Owen and Abdul Samad at number 6 and 7, respectively. Hussain Talat is another consistent, power-hitting batsman at number 5 and would be worth watching.

Luke Wood and Alzarri Joseph spearhead the pace attack of Peshawar, and Arif Yaqoob is a big wicket-taker among the spinners. 17-year-old right-arm medium pacer Ali Raza has also emerged as a promising bowler in his recent performances.

Pitch Report

The pitch looks solid, providing great support for both batsmen and bowlers alike. In the last ten T20Is played here, the average first-innings score has been 184 runs. If a team can push past 200 runs, they’ll likely secure a win on this surface. Interestingly, the highest score ever recorded at Gaddafi Stadium during the PSL is 188 runs, achieved by Lahore against Quetta Gladiators.

Toss Prediction

Historically, teams batting first on this pitch have claimed victory in 18 out of 29 T20Is. It’s not known for being a high-scoring venue, so batting first and putting up a solid score could be a smart move.

Weather Report

Get ready for a fantastic match day in Lahore! The weather is shaping up to be clear and sunny, with temperatures soaring to 38 degrees Celsius. There’s no sign of clouds or rain, so we’re all set for an exciting showdown between the two teams.

Head to Head

Last season, Peshawar Zalmi had the edge over Lahore Qalandars, winning 11-08 in their matchup. It’ll be interesting to see how this rematch unfolds!

Venue Details

The Gaddafi Stadium is known for being quite friendly to batsmen. In the early part of the game, you can expect a steady pace and nice bounce, plus a quick outfield that helps the ball race away. As the match progresses, though, spinners will start to shine, utilizing their spin and grip to make things tricky for the batsmen.

Match Prediction

The home team has been looking strong lately, showcasing impressive batting performances. With a solid lineup featuring some reliable and in-form batsmen, they seem ready to take on the challenge. On the other hand, the visitors have struggled with consistency in their batting, so they’ll need their top bowlers to step up and keep the pressure on. In our match prediction, Lahore Qalandars are the favorites to win.

Lahore Qalandars to win.
