LQ vs PZ Team Previews
Lahore Qalandars
The defending champions are struggling a bit at the moment as they have lost each of the 4 matches played so far. As a result, the team is firmly placed at the bottom of the points table. As we approach the halfway mark, the time is running out for Qalandars to get some wins under their belt.
The Qalandars have two quality batsmen playing for them in the form of Sahibzada Farhan and Rassie van der Dussen. Farhan is in red-hot form and has scored 3 half-centuries in 4 innings and is also the top run-getter of the season.
However, the other batsmen have yet to contribute in a meaningful way. Fakhar Zaman, Ahsan Bhatti, Shai Hope, and Sikandar Raza have all been rather inconsistent when it comes to scoring runs. Zaman Khan amd Shaheen Shah Afridi have bowled well in patches and have picked up 10 wickets between them.
But they have also been very expensive. Haris Rauf injured himself in the last match and the details regarding the severity of his injury are awaited.

Fakhar Zaman, Sahibzada Farhan, Rassie van der Dussen, Shai Hope, Sikandar Raza, Jahandad Khan, Carlos Brathwaite, Shaheen Afridi, Mohammad Imran, Zaman Khan, Ahsan Bhatti.
Peshawar Zalmi
After suffering back-to-back losses at the start of the season, Peshawar came back in style on Friday as they defeated Multan Sultans in a nail-biting encounter. With the first points, Peshawar finds itself in the 5th spot on the points table.
Babar Azam is in excellent form with the bat and is among the top two run-getters of the season. He has scored 2 half-centuries in 3 innings and will once again open the batting alongside Saim Ayub. While there are some quality batsmen in the middle order, the team will need at least one of them to play a big inning.
Rovman Powell, Mohammad Haris, and Haseebullah Khan have all got good starts but have failed to convert them. The seam attack has been one of the high points of Peshawar's performance this season. Luke Wood and Salman Irshad have picked up 5 wickets each, and have been well-supported by Naveen Ul-Haq.
Paul Walter. Arif Yaqoob, who was playing his first match of the season on Friday, bowled a brilliant spell, picking up 3 wickets.

LQ vs PZ Toss Prediction
4 of the 5 matches played at Lahore this season have been won while chasing. We, therefore, think that the winner of the toss will likely opt to bowl first.

Pitch and Conditions
The pitch at the Gaddafi Stadium is good to bat on. The ball comes onto the bat, allowing the batsmen to play their shots. That said, the quicker bowlers will get some movement off the seam when the ball is new. The surface gets especially easier to bat as the game progresses.
The team batting first will look to score at least 180.
The weather is likely to be clear with temperatures of below 20 degrees Celsius.
LQ vs PZ Betting Tips
Both teams have performed well below their full potential and it is difficult to predict a clear winner in this match. However, seeing the way Peshawar performed in their latest fixture, they have an edge. The Lahore Qalandars on the other hand are struggling and will find it difficult to bounce back.
Bet on Peshawar Zalmi to win.
Bonus Cricket Bets
Peshawar has won 2 tosses in their 3 matches, including in the last match. Seeing their luck, it wouldn’t be surprising to see them win the toss in this match.
Sahibzada Farhan is in sublime form and is the leading run-getter of the season. He has top-scored for Lahore in 2 of their last 3 matches. With such lucrative odds on offer, betting on Farhan to do it again is a no-brainer.
Luke Wood has bowled well in the last couple of games and has picked up 2 wickets in each of his last 2 outings. With the pitch in Lahore helping the quicker bowlers to an extent, Wood has a good chance to once again bowl a good spell.
The Gaddafi Stadium has hosted some high-scoring encounters this season and 5 of the 6 matches played so far have seen at least 1 over where 20 or more runs were scored. With the quality of batting on both sides, we can safely expect some more high-scoring overs in this match.
