The Weather is set to be clear for the Peshawar Zalmi Vs Lahore Qalandars fixture, and there is no rain in the forecast. Dew can play a role in the game, but it is an uncertain factor.
The surface has helped both batters and bowlers, but there is a little more assistance to sides with the bat.
At 40 years of age, Shoaib Malik is still finishing games and is showing no signs of slowing down with the bat. He finished well in the previous fixture and is in very good form with the bat. With immense experience behind him, Shoaib Malik is enjoying his days in the tournament, and more finishes from him are expected.
Fakhar Zaman put up the first century in the season and is in explosive form. He is scoring runs with ease and making a huge impact as an opener. He is a top opener in Pakistan and can be expected to provide some quick runs early in the innings. In case Zaman manages to bat through the early stages it is clear that he will make a huge impact on his team.
Both sides don’t have any injury concerns and are likely to go without any changes into the next game.
Going by Zaman’s form and ability, Qalandars have the edge to get a strong win against Zalmi. The momentum is with them, but Zalmi is not too far behind as the likes of Shoaib Malik are also in strong form. Despite Malik’s form. Zaman and his side hold the edge in the game.
