The ticket to the grand final is up for grabs as Peshawar Zalmi take on Islamabad United in a second Qualifier at National Stadium. Multan Sultans defeated Peshawar Zalmi with a competent performance, exposing several flaws in their batting and bowling units. The men from Peshawar, who have a second chance at the final, will hope to make it count by putting in a team effort with both bat and ball. Not relying too heavily on Captain Babar and having several batsmen chip in with valuable contributions is critical for them to challenge a team. They’ll have their work cut out against Team Islamabad, who defeated Quetta Gladiators in the knockout round despite some blunders that exposed their soft underbelly.

With both games on Saturday off and the pitches covered throughout, we are anticipating the surface to be a little humid and give the pace bowlers an advantage in this match.
There is no rain forecast, but it will be a cold night. There will be some clear skies and cloudy conditions, but the temperature will not rise above 17 degrees.

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.
