Peshawar ZalmiQuetta GladiatorsThis is the 2nd last fixture for Peshawar Zalmi and a win on Friday will be a major advantage for the hosts. Peshawar Zalmi is coming to play against the Gladiators after scoring a win against the table-toppers Multan Sultans in the previous fixture.
It was a high-scoring game where Zalmi Batters played an important role. Saim Ayub (46 off 22) gave a solid start to the team but it was skipper Babar Azam who made headlines with 64 off 40 balls at a strike rate of 160.
It was not a good day for the bowlers as the fixture went to the last ball with Saim Ayub and Luke Wood turning out to be expensive. Aamir Jamal picked up a duo at an economy of 9 in 4 overs. Mehran Mumtaz and Naveen-uk-Haq picked up a single wicket each.
Babar Azam is in good form but his opening partner Saim Ayub needs to perform consistently to dominate the remaining fixtures.
Predicted Lineup: Asif Ali, Babar Azam, Rovman Powell, Saim Ayub, Aamer Jamal, Salman Irshad, Haseebullah Khan, Tom Kohler Cadmore, Mehran Mumtaz, Naveen ul Haq, Luke Wood
The real challenge for the Gladiators will be on Friday. They are in a good position in the league and would like to continue the same way. However, to get a positive result, the batting unit will have to step up their game.
Jason Roy is their leading scorer with 200 runs in 5 matches but his average stands at 40. Saud Shakeel is following him with 164 runs in 5 matches and his average stands at 32.80.
The Gladiators have a good combination of bowlers in the team. Abrar Ahmed is their leading wicket-taker as he has picked up 10 wickets in 5 matches at an economy of 7.65 and an average of 15.30. Akeal Hosein has also taken 8 wickets in the league in 5 matches at an economy of 7.55.
Jason Roy, Abrar Ahmed, and Akeal Hosein are the key players in the team.
Predicted Lineup: Jason Roy, Saud Shakeel, Khawaja Nafay, Rilee Rossouw (c), Sarfaraz Ahmed (wk), Sherfane Rutherford, Akeal Hosein, Mohammad Wasim Jr, Sohail Khan, Usman Tariq, Abrar Ahmed
The previous meeting between the two teams was a high-scoring fixture where Quetta Gladiators came out on top. Since then, the Gladiators have witnessed a slow decline in their batting lineup.
The middle order fails to handle the pressure in critical situations. Peshawar Zalmi have shown a major improvement in their batting but their bowlers are still inconsistent. However, their batters are in a positive form and we predict a win for Peshawar Zalmi on Friday.
