Last updated: 14 Apr 2026

In a highly anticipated showdown, Peshawar Zalmi faces Quetta Gladiators. Peshawar is in blistering form, winning 5 of their previous 6 matches, with key players like Kusal Mendis and Babar Azam leading strong performances. Meanwhile, Quetta Gladiators have been inconsistent, with only two wins but showing resilience in recent games. Predictions favor Zalmi, notably Kusal Mendis as the top scorer. Both teams' squad details and recent forms highlight Peshawar's potential to dominate the match, positioning them as favorites.
