Lahore Qalandars vs Peshawar Zalmi Predictions

The two teams have the same record, aside from the Qalandars having played one extra match, which was rained off. I’m backing Zalmi for the win as they have won three of their last four matches.

Peshawar Zalmi’s Babar Azam has scored 46, 56* & 53* in his last 5 innings.
Peshawar Zalmi’s Mohammad Haris (230 runs) is 9th in the PSL runs list.
Lahore Qalandars’ Mohammad Naeem has scored 50 & 65 in his last 2 innings.
Lahore Qalandars’ Fakhar Zaman (309 runs) is third on the PSL runs list.

Head-to-Head

Peshawar Zalmi have won three and lost one of their last five matches against Lahore Qalandars. The other match was rained-off.

Lahore Qalandars Form

Lahore Qalandars made it two defeats from their last four completed matches when they lost to the Karachi Kings by four wickets in a rain-reduced contest.

The Qalandars got off to a flyer, with Fakhar Zaman (51 off 33 balls) and

Mohammad Naeem (65 off 29) adding 90 for the 1st wicket in eight overs. The rest of the batting line-up failed to fire and they ended their 15 overs on 160/8.

The Kings timed their chase perfectly, reaching 168/6 off 14.3 overs. Daryl Mitchell (2/9, econ 6.00) was the pick of the Qalandars bowlers.

Lahore Qalandars Team News

There are no injury reports from the Lahore Qalandars squad.

Peshawar Zalmi Form

Peshawar Zalmi made it three wins from their last four matches when they beat the Multan Sultans by seven wickets. Their following match against Karachi Kings was postponed due to the threat of military action.

Zalmi rolled the Sultans for 108 off 19.1 overs. Ahmed Daniyal (3/17) and Maaz Sadaqat (2/12) were the pick of the Zalmi bowlers.

Zalmi had no trouble knocking off the required runs for the loss of just three wickets. Saim Ayub (49 off 33 balls) and Max Bryant (38* off 20) did the bulk of the scoring for the visitors.

Peshawar Zalmi Team News

There are no injury reports from the Peshawar Zalmi squad.

Verdict

Lahore Qalandars v Peshawar Zalmi

I am backing Peshawar Zalmi to win. I am also backing Babar Azam to top score for Peshawar Zalmi.

Mohammad Naeem is a good bet to top score for the Lahore Qalandars.
