ISL vs PES Match Preview

Islamabad United and Peshawar Zalmi face off in Match 20 of the 2024 Pakistan Super League on a Monday night in Rawalpindi. Islamabad has five points from six games, with Peshawar Zalmi two points ahead of them after the same number of fixtures. With their last match left without a ball being bowled, Islamabad United will be determined to get back to the pitch and win again in this game. They have a poor recent track against Peshawar Zalmi, but they have a very good chance. Peshawar Zalmi did not look like losing any of their previous three games, but they must now begin another run of victories. They enter this game in third place on the table, but have the top two spots.

Topmost Picks for ISL vs PES Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – Islamabad United

• Alex Hales- the 35 year old will have been disappointed to not get an opportunity to build on his 47 against Karachi Kings in Saturday’s game against Quetta Gladiators. He will be raring to go again in this match.
• Naseem Shah- the right-arm pacer dismissed the dangerous Mohammad Nawaz in Match 15 against Karachi Kings and he is a real strike-bowler in this format.

Top Picks – Peshawar Zalmi

• Saim Ayub- the top order batter looks set for over a decade of big-hitting  in the PSL. We expect him to go on the attack from his first ball in this game.
• Luke Wood- the left-arm quick bowler has not gone through a game in the 2024 PSL without taking a wicket. He will be looking to maintain that record in this match.

Suggested Playing XI N0.1 for ISL vs PES Dream11 Team:

Azam Khan, Saim Ayub(VC), Babar Azam, Colin Munro, Alex Hales, Shadab Khan(C), Agha Salman, Rovman Powell, Luke Wood, Salman Irshad, Naseem Shah

Suggested Playing XI N0.2 for ISL vs PES Dream11 Team:

Azam Khan, Saim Ayub, Babar Azam(C), Colin Munro(VC), Alex Hales, Shadab Khan, Agha Salman, Rovman Powell, Luke Wood, Arif Yaqoob, Naseem Shah

Captain and Vice-Captain Options:

Captain – Shadab Khan, Babar Azam

Vice-captain – Colin Munro

Wicketkeeper – Jordan Cox

ISL vs PES Probable Winners:

This appears to be an exciting contest on Monday evening in Lahore, as Islamabad United looks to turn around their recent poor performance. But they’ll have a difficult time doing so against Peshawar Zalmi, who won two close games on Friday and Sunday. We expect a close match, but we believe Peshawar Zalmi will win again. Considering the team combination, Peshawar Zalmi is expected to win this match.
