PZ vs IU Team Previews

Peshawar Zalmi

Peshawar Zalmi enter their crucial clash against Islamabad United seeking redemption after a humbling 64-run defeat to Quetta Gladiators. Despite a disciplined middle-overs bowling effort from Saim Ayub and Sufiyan Muqeem that momentarily stifled Quetta’s momentum, Zalmi’s persistent death-overs bowling woes resurfaced, allowing a sub-180 total to slip away.

Their batting, once again overly reliant on Babar Azam and Saim, crumbled under early pressure as Faheem Ashraf and Mohammad Amir dismantled the top order. The middle and lower order offered little resistance, with only Hussain Talat showing any fight in a subdued chase.

The absence of resilience under pressure is a growing concern. Zalmi’s strengths—spin control, individual flair, and top-order firepower—are clear, but unless they fix their fragile middle order and death-overs execution, they risk slipping further behind.

Facing an experienced and balanced Islamabad side, Zalmi need both a sharper start and a tougher mentality if they are to bounce back.

Peshawar Zalmi Expected Playing 11

Saim Ayub, Babar Azam (captain), Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Mohammad Haris (wicketkeeper), Hussain Talat, Abdul Samad, Mitchell Owen, Alzarri Joseph, Luke Wood, Sufiyan Muqeem, Ali Raza

Islamabad United

Islamabad United come into their clash with Peshawar Zalmi after a rare setback, having seen their record-breaking 10-match PSL winning streak snapped by a dominant Lahore Qalandars outfit. The defeat exposed some chinks in United's armor, particularly with the ball, as they leaked 96 runs in the final six overs.

Imad Wasim stood out with the ball, but others like Ben Dwarshuis and Jason Holder were taken apart. The batting effort, typically United’s strong suit, faltered despite a promising 69-run partnership between Andries Gous and Salman Agha.

Once that stand was broken, the innings unraveled with little resistance from the lower order. However, United still top the table and remain a formidable force with depth in both batting and bowling.

They'll be eager to bounce back quickly, and a match against a fragile Zalmi outfit offers the perfect opportunity to regain momentum and reassert their dominance in the PSL.

Islamabad United Expected Playing 11

Sahibzada Farhan, Andries Gous, Salman Agha, Azam Khan (wicketkeeper), Haider Ali, Shadab Khan (captain), Jason Holder, Imad Wasim, Ben Dwarshuis, Naseem Shah, Hunain Shah

PZ vs IU Toss Prediction

The team that wins the toss is likely to want to field first. Chasing has been the preferred options for most teams os far and we think that will continue to be the case.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

​Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore is renowned for its batting-friendly pitches, and tomorrow's match is expected to follow suit. The surface is flat and hard, offering consistent bounce that favors aggressive stroke play. Early in the innings, pacers may find some movement, but this diminishes as the game progresses. Spinners could come into play during the middle overs, especially if the pitch slows down.

As for the weather, Lahore is expected to have clear skies with no rain forecasted. The temperature will be around 28°C during the day and 19°C at night, with humidity levels around 42%.

PZ vs IU: Who Will Win?

Islamabad United has lost just one match so far. It has been consistently the best team of PSL 2025 so far. Not only is its batting stronger but its bowling is also very well stocked. We think it should be able to get the better of a struggling Peshawar Zalmi unit.

PZ vs IU win percentage stands at 53% in favor of IU.
