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 v Quetta Gladiators

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.
