Match 17 of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2025 will be played on April 27, 2025, where Quetta Gladiators (QUE), led by Saud Shakeel, will play against Peshawar Zalmi (PES), led by Babar Azam, at Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore. This match promises to be an exciting contest with an attacking batting lineup from QUE, including Finn Allen and Jason Roy, to run against the performing side of PES, led by Babar Azam and supported with a strong bowling performance by Alzarri Joseph and Luke Wood. The batting-friendly pitch at Gaddafi Stadium is famed for high-scoring contests that will add spice to a big rivalry.

PES leads the head-to-head record slightly with 13 wins compared to QUE’s 10 wins in their respective 23 contests, which points to how competitive this rivalry is. Other than the head-to-head record being corrected, all of the other aspects of the match preview, including previous notable matches, key players, pitch notes, and predictions, remain aligned with the original response, as amending the head-to-head record likely won't change the analysis significantly.
