PZ vs LQ Betting Tips

Lahore Qalandars total runs in first two overs to be over 14.5 runs

The Qalandars are packed with punch in their opening batting partnership. They may look to show off their aggression from the very beginning again. They hit 15 runs in the first two overs against Karachi Kings.

Babar Azam to score over 29.5 runs

The classy right-handed Pakistani opening batter will bring finesse, touch and power to the crease in countering the opening bowlers. Babar Azam can largely claim to already be going down in Pakistan cricket’s history books as a legend. He will be worth backing after scoring an unbeaten 56 against Lahore previously.

The top four could ultimately be determined based on this game. The Zalmi will be looking for a repeat of their heroics against the same opposition earlier this season. Neither team has shown any frightening level of consistency, so this game could come down to the toss of a coin or a piece of individual brilliance to elevate a team’s performance. The Qalandars have a strong core of Pakistani internationals.

PZ vs LQ Team Previews

Peshawar Zalmi

In the 2024 season, captain Babar Azam scored a phenomenal 569 runs at an average of 56.90 with five half-centuries and a century. Saim Ayub is the vice-captain and complements Babar with his aggressive style. He scored 345 runs in the previous season and was named the All-Rounder of the Tournament. Abdul Samad has shown promise, notably with an innings of 40 runs against Multan Sultans to begin his PSL campaign. Mohammad Haris is a dynamic cricketer as a wicketkeeper and batter. The young gun has 2664 T20 runs.

The all-rounder department features Hussain Talat. Talat provides balance with his left-handed batting and medium-pace bowling. His talent has been shown in the international sphere with almost 400 runs in his 18 T20Is. Maaz Sadaqat, an emerging all-round talent, has impressed with his left-arm spin with a two-fer against Multan.

Sufiyan Muqeem comes into an exciting bowling lineup. He has come onto the international stage like a firecracker having taken his first international five-wicket haul inside his first seven T20Is. Ahmed Daniyal was a standout performer in his previous PSL appearance with the player-of-the-match award after taking three wickets and three catches.

Pakistani right-arm pacer Mohammad Ali has consistently taken wickets in a 22-wicket PSL career. Leg-spin bowler Arif Yaqoob has impressed with his start of five wickets, including a three-wicket haul, in his first three games. Finally, the youngest of them all is Ali Raza, who is years ahead of where he should be. The teenager has nine wickets this tournament with a four-fer.

Lahore Qalandars

Fakhar Zaman has been Lahore’s chief destroyer with 309 runs and three half-centuries in PSL 2025. Mohammad Naeem, after early struggles, has emerged as a power-hitter with back-to-back half-centuries against the Gladiators and Kings respectively.

Abdullah Shafique with 254 runs this year and wicketkeeper Muhammad Akhlaq with 114 runs in Pakistan’s National T20 Cup provide stability to keep the scoreboard moving. They provide additional firepower getting the run rate up in the crucial middle overs.

All-rounder Jahandad Khan with 249 runs and 38 wickets in T20s is a robust contributor to the team. Veteran finisher Asif Ali provides late-order power with a PSL strike rate over 155 to accelerate in the death. He is in it for the long run too with over 1200 runs in the PSL.

Lahore’s bowling attack hinges on its pace duo. Captain Shaheen Shah Afridi with nine wickets this tournament uses lethal new-ball swing and international teammate Haris Rauf with 11 wickets dominates the death overs. Young Bangladeshi leg-spinner Rishad Hossain is a revelation.

The bowling all-rounder claimed six wickets in his first two PSL games. Left-arm tweaker Asif Afridi chips in with his 15 PSL career wickets to round out the attack. Pakistan’s right-arm fast bowler Zaman Khan brings death-bowling intelligence with two four-wicket hauls in the PSL and 44 wickets in the tournament overall.

Lahore Qalandars Expected Playing 11

PZ vs LQ Toss Prediction

Lahore’s most recent win at Rawalpindi came by batting first. On the contrary, Peshawar Zalmi lost to Quetta Gladiators and Islamabad United when they batted second. Both captains are likely to want to bat first.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

The Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium pitch report suggests that the venue has emerged as a high-scoring venue in PSL 2025. Five of the first six matches at Rawalpindi this year have all produced matches with first-innings totals exceeding 200. Notably, Lahore Qalandars hit a score of 219 for six against Quetta Gladiators.

By the same token, the pitch tends to slow down in the second innings. This should make it no surprise that five of the first six matches have been won by the side batting first.

The weather will be warm and humid, even going into the nighttime. With no chance of rain on the night, there is nothing from above to worry about.

PZ vs LQ: Who Will Win?

Lahore Qalandars, with their higher position on the table, must secure a win to keep their play-off hopes alive and avenge their earlier defeat to Lahore this season. Lahore's consistent batting lineup with the likes of Fakhar Zaman and Abdullah Shafique, poses a significant challenge. We think betting on Lahore Qalandars is the smart move here.

PZ vs LQ win percentage stands at 52% in favor of LQ.
