PES vs ISL, 12th Match Preview

Peshawar Zalmi are all set to lock horns with Islamabad United in Karachi in their first head-to-head encounter this season. Both teams have lost a game while chasing against Multan Sultans. Also, neither of these teams has lost a match in Karachi. Islamabad United chased down a 174-run target in their opening game against Karachi Kings. Whereas Peshawar Zalmi chased down 156 in their last game at this venue. It is a venue where anything below 180 would fall short of a match-winning total. James Neesham, Rovman Powell, and Dasun Shanaka will be key players for Peshawar with match-finishing abilities.

Topmost Picks for PES vs ISL Dream11 Prediction, 12th Match:

Top Picks – Peshawar Zalmi

• Babar Azam – The Zalmi captain has scored 96 runs in the PSL 2023 so far. But will be itching to score a huge knock to make his presence felt.

• Tom Kohler Cadmore – He has been the leading run scorer for Peshawar Zalmi yet couldn’t find his groove in the previous game. Match 12 will be all about redemption for this fierce batter.

Top Picks – Islamabad United

• Rassie van der Dussen – This South African struck 49 runs in just 32 balls in the previous game for United and will be confident to build upon his good form.

• Colin Munro – The only way Islamabad United’s batting lineup could throw Zalmi’s bowling attack under major pressure is when Munro counterattacks at his best ability.

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

Azam Khan, Mohammad Haris, Babar Azam(C), Colin Munro, Rassie van der Dussen, Rovman Powell, Shadab Khan, James Neesham(VC), Wahab Riaz, Tom Curran, Mohammad Wasim Jr

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

Azam Khan, Mohammad Haris, Babar Azam, Colin Munro(VC), Rassie van der Dussen, Tom Kohler-Cadmore(C), Shadab Khan, James Neesham, Wahab Riaz, Tom Curran, Rumman Raees

PES vs ISL 12th Match Probable Winners:

Peshawar Zalmi to beat Islamabad United in Match 12 and move on to 6 points afterward. The primary reason is their form in the previous game and the fact that their bowling unit has been more steady as compared to Islamabad United. Moreover, as we have witnessed to date, Islamabad United has not been able to bounce back when put under pressure. Considering the team combination, Peshawar Zalmi is expected to win this match.

Both Peshawar Zalmi and Islamabad United are struggling for consistency as they have failed to string in consecutive wins this season. Their line-ups have a fair bit of strength and with players coming in from national duty the line-ups are set to get stronger.
