Peshawar Zalmi vs Quetta Gladiators Predictions


Peshawar Zalmi look like the stronger squad at the start of the season with bat and ball. I’m backing them to get their campaign off to a winning start as they look to make the knockout stages for a record 10th time.  

  • Peshawar Zalmi’s Babar Azam (569 runs) topped the Pakistan Super League runs list last season.
  • Peshawar Zalmi’s Saim Ayub scored 109, 25 & 101 against South Africa in December.
  • Quetta Gladiators’ Khawaja Nafay has scored 57, 66 & 20 in his last 5 innings.
  • Quetta Gladiators’ Saud Shakeel has scored 76 & 73 in his last 5 innings.

Head-to-Head


Peshawar Zalmi have won three and lost two of their last five matches against Quetta Gladiators.

Peshawar Zalmi Form


Peshawar Zalmi ended their excellent season with a two-run win over the Karachi Kings.

Babar Azam (51 off 46 balls) and Rovman Powell (30 off 18) top-scored with the bat for the Kings, but they ended on a disappointing 147/6 off their 20 overs.

Naveen-ul-Haq (2/22, econ 5.50) and Saim Ayub (1/18, econ 4.50) excelled with the ball as Zalmi held their nerve to squeeze out a two-run win in a thrilling match.

Peshawar Zalmi Team News


Peshawar Zalmi are in good form and are unlikely to make any changes to their team.

Quetta Gladiators Form


The Gladiators lost four of their last five games last season, including losing Eliminator 1 by 39 runs against Islamabad United.

Islamabad started well but good bowling by the Gladiators pulled the brakes on their innings. They ended on 174/9 off their 20 overs, Mohammad Amir (2/20, econ 5.00) returned the best figures for the Gladiators.

Omair Yousuf (50 off 37 balls) stood firm as the Gladiators slumped to 16/5. Akeal Hosein (31 off 18) hit three sixes and Mohammad Amir hit 22 of his 23 runs in boundaries off 14 balls, but the Gladiators were bowled out for 135 in the 19th over.

Quetta Gladiators Team News


Quetta Gladiators are in good form and are unlikely to make any changes to their team.

Verdict

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

Khawaja Nafay is a good bet to top score for the Quetta Gladiators.
