QUE vs PES Match Preview

On Sunday afternoon, Peshawar Zalmi and Quetta Gladiators will face off in the second match of the 2024 Pakistan Super League at the Gaddafi Stadium. Zalmi finished third overall after finishing fourth in the group stage, while the Gladiators finished bottom of the table. Peshawar Zalmi completed only two points behind last year’s runners-up Multan Sultans in the preliminary stage and four behind Lahore Qalandars, indicating that no major changes are required to improve their finish this season. Quetta Gladiators had been very disappointing in last year’s PSL, but they’ve got a good team of players who will undoubtedly aim for the play-offs this season. Although they may not get off to a good start, we anticipate them being competitive in this match.
