The PSL match between Peshawar Zalmi and Quetta Gladiators is heating up. On record, Zalmi has proved to be a strong team, finishing 4th last season and winning the majority of their recent matches against Gladiators. Babar Azam is a standout performer for Zalmi, expected to bring solid runs. In contrast, Gladiators struggle despite Rilee Rossouw's exceptional run in the previous season. The prediction favours Zalmi given their past performance and strong squad.

Head to Head


Peshawar Zalmi have won four of their last five games against the Gladiators, but it was the Gladiators who won their last encounter by eight wickets in March 2023.

Peshawar Zalmi Form


Peshawar Zalma finished the 2023 PSL season in fourth place, winning five and losing five of their 10 games.

Over the course of the Pakistan Super League, Zalmi have been one of the more successful teams, although they’ve only managed one title (2017). Despite that, they have been in three other finals and failed to get over the line.

This season they will hope to compete at the top once again. They have the squad to challenge, but so do the other sides so they’ll need a strong start.

Peshawar Zalmi Injuries & Team News


Babar Azam is the obvious key player for Zalmi. The Pakistan star is a world class player across all formats and almost guarantees loads of runs. He will, however, need support from the other end.

Quetta Gladiators Form


The Gladiators finished bottom of the table in 2023, something they will want to avoid this time around. They only managed three wins in 10 matches.

In the first four seasons of the PSL (2016-2019), the Quetta Gladiators made the final on three occasions, winning the tournament once in 2019. Unfortunately, the Gladiators have barely threatened to challenge since then.

Quetta Gladiators Injuries & Team News


Rilee Rossouw will be key to the Gladiators’ success after his scored 453 runs last season, the third most in the tournament. That included one century and an average of 45. The South African left-hander will have the support of Englishman, Jason Roy at the other end.

Verdict

Peshawar Zalmi are backed to win with Babar Azam tipped in the best batsman market. For the Gladiators, I'm backing Rilee Rossouw to top score.
