PZ vs LQ
T20
Match No. 17 of 34
We are at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium in Rawalpindi for Match 17 of the 2024 Pakistan Super League where Peshawar Zalmi will go up against Lahore Qalandars in what will be the first game of a double header Saturday in the PSL. Two teams that find themselves at different ends of the spectrum in the points table with Zalmi in 3rd position with 3 wins from 5 games and the reigning champions, Lahore are dead last with 6 losses out of 6, an unbelievable turnaround for the Shaheen Afridi-led unit. The two sides have already faced each other once this season and that was a very high scoring affair that was clinched by Peshawar Zalmi. Zalmi do have a settled side with both their batters and bowlers doing more than a decent job and that top order holds the key for their success. The Qalandars on the other hand are down in confidence and even with some big names, confidence matters a lot and they need to find something miraculous to get their mojo back and pick up their first win of the season. Will they be able to do so though? We shall find out in due course.
Babar Azam's Peshawar Zalmi, started off their campaign a bit nervy losing two games in a row but they managed to change their gears and push the accelerator hard to win three games in a streak and settle at the third position in the group stage for now. In the previous encounter against Lahore Qalandars, the top order of this side had an incredible knock which they would like to continue in this match as well.
In the last match, Babar Azam knocked an outstanding century, which directly showcases the strength of the batting lineup of Peshawar Zalmi. Arif Yaqoob from the bowling unit also bagged 5 wickets into his account in the last match and will be ready to slay the opposition's batter. The only flaw is that they are a bit expensive and leak runs in the mid-innings, which helps the opposition's batter trigger the score. A little check in the line and lengths from the bowling unit will make this match flawless.
