Lahore Qalandars lost their 6th fixture in the league and the loss came against the table-toppers Multan Sultans. It was a one-sided game where the Lahore bowlers turned out to be a weak spot and the batters looked under pressure and failed to complete the chase.
Skipper Shaheen Afridi picked up 2 wickets but showcased an economy of 9.75. Carlos Brathwaite and Sikandar Raza scalped a single wicket each but displayed an economy of 9 and 10.
On the batting front, the top order - Sahibzada Farhan (31 off 21), Fakhar Zaman (23 off 16), and Rassie van der Dussen (30 off 22) gave a balanced start to the team but once their partnership was broken, there was no contribution from the middle & lower middle order.
The Qalandars are still struggling with the right combination of the team. However, Rassie van der Dussen, Sikandar Raza, and Shaheen Afridi are the key players.
Predicted Lineup: Rassie van der Dussen, Sahibzada Farhan, Fakhar Zaman, Sikandar Raza, Kamran Ghulam, Zaman Khan, Shaheen Afridi, Jahandad Khan, Salman Fayyaz, Carlos Brathwaite, George Linde

When it came to the bowlers, the start was slow but soon the bowlers held the grip of the game in the middle overs. Arif Yaqoob picked up a fiver in 4 overs at an economy of 6.75. Saim Ayub, Luke Wood, Naveen-ul-Haq, and Salman Irshad picked up a single wicket each.

Peshawar Zalmi is coming from an intimidating win in their previous fixture and hence the confidence of the team will be high. With 6 consecutive losses, Lahore Qalandars are at the lowest point in the league and that has also affected their morale.
Peshawar Zalmi has a good depth in their batting lineup with multiple match-winners. We predict a win for Peshawar Zalmi on Saturday.
