The stage is set for a thrilling encounter in the second game of the Pakistan Super League with Peshawar Zalmi locking horns with Quetta Gladiators. Both teams carry contrasting narratives from last year. Quetta, missing out on the playoffs altogether, will be burning with desire to right their wrongs and start the season with a bang. Their determination will be fueled by a revamped squad boasting players like Leus du Plooy and Jamie Overton, coupled with experienced bowlers like Daniel Sams and Hasan Ali.

Peshawar Zalmi, on the other hand, tasted heartbreak in the eliminator and will be hungry to go further this time. Led by the ever-reliable Babar Azam, their batting lineup is packed with power hitters like Tom Kohler-Cadmore and Rovman Powell. This clash promises to be a battle of contrasting styles, with Quetta’s aggression taking on Peshawar’s calculated approach.

Pitch Report

The Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore awaits a feast of runs for the clash between Quetta and Peshawar. The flat, hard surface is notorious for offering minimal assistance to pacers, making it a haven for batters to unleash their strokes. Expect good bounce initially, particularly aiding swing bowlers early on. While spinners might find some purchase and turn later in the innings, especially if the pitch wears down, their impact is likely to be minimal. The captain winning the toss will have a close eye on today’s opening game which will be played on the same surface.

Probable Playing XI

Peshawar Zalmi: Mohammad Haris, Saim Ayub, Babar Azam(c), Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Haseebullah Khan, Rovman Powell, Asif Ali, Aamir Jamal, Shamar Joseph, Khurram Shahzad, Luke Wood.

Quetta Gladiators: Rilee Rossouw(c), Jason Roy, Bismillah Khan, Sarfaraz Ahmed, Omair Yousuf, Saud Shakeel, Shefane Rutherford, Akeal Hosein, Mohammad Amir, Mohammad Wasim, Mohammad Husnain.
