Pakistan Super League (PSL) season 8 will continue full steam ahead with another doubleheader which will be kicked off by Lahore Qalandars taking on Peshawar Zalmi.
Qalandars, the current table-toppers, will look to solidify their case of finishing in the top 2 to avoid a direct eliminator while Zalmi will look to boost their chances of making the playoffs which should make for an entertaining contest.
Here is all you need to know ahead of the game.
Lahore Qalandars vs Peshawar Zalmi PSL head-to-head:
Zalmi currently leads this rivalry 9 games to 7 but the worrying trend for Babar Azam’s side is that Lahore has won the last 6 of the 7 matches played between the two.
When and Where will the match take place?
Pindi Cricket Stadium will host the two teams at 2:00 PM (PKT).
Players to watch:
Lahore Qalandars has been in sublime form courtesy of their batting and bowling strength and look likely to repeat as champions.
Sam Billings, Fakahar Zaman and Abdullah Shafique are in great touch with the bat, Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf and Rashid Khan have been ruthless with the ball and David Wiese and Sikandar Raza have contributed with both to give them enviable team balance.
Zalmi, meanwhile, has shown mettle in recent games even without Babar Azam getting the job done.
Rovman Powell and Tom Kohler-Cladmore remain as crucial as ever while Saium Ayub, Azam and Mohammad Haris are due a decent outing with the bat.
Mujeeb Ur Rahman looks like Zalmi’s best option with the ball.
Form:
Qalandars are on a five-game win streak which includes a win over Zalmi in their previous meeting this season.
Zalmi, meanwhile, has lost three of their last five games but is coming off a win which should instil some confidence in them heading into the contest as they look to seal their play in the PSL 8 playoffs.
