ISL vs PES, Eliminator Match Preview

Eliminator 1 of the 2023 Pakistan Super League brings Islamabad United and Peshawar Zalmi together on Thursday evening at the Gaddafi Stadium. United finished the group stage in third place with Zalmi only one place behind with two less points and one less victory. Islamabad United have plenty of depth in their squad but we expect them to select their best XI for this match. If they play at their best they will be very hard to beat. Peshawar Zalmi got an important win over Islamabad United without some of their top players last weekend. They will have plenty of confidence ahead of this play-off match.

ISL vs PES Eliminator Match Probable Winners:

Defeat in this game will mean the end of the 2023 PSL for one of either Islamabad United and Peshawar Zalmi with the winner going on to the Eliminator 2 on Friday. Farooqi ended Saim Ayub’s run of half-centuries with a wicket in the first over of Match 29. We expect to see some high scores on both teams and would not rule out at least one centurion. Considering the team combination, Islamabad United is expected to win this match.
