PZ vs QG Team Previews

Peshawar Zalmi

Leading the Peshawar team is Babar Azam with his elegant batting. He has a phenomenal 501 runs across his last ten PSL matches. Under his captaincy, the team benefits from his prolific run-scoring abilities and leadership experience. Complementing him at the top is the young, exciting prospect of Saim Ayub. Ayub has both 303 runs and eight wickets in his last eight PSL matches. Behind the stumps, Mohammad Haris is the wicketkeeper. He hit 40 runs in his previous PSL innings.

The middle order is fortified by the English power-hitting of Tom Kohler-Cadmore. The Englishman hit a quickfire 33 against the Gladiators at Rawalpindi in 2024. Australian batter Max Bryant will look to shift the gears of the innings quickly when he enters the frame.

Abdul Samad and Hussain Talat are both adept all-rounders. Samad made his T20I debut for Pakistan earlier this year. Talat's medium pace, combined with his batting prowess, provides valuable options in both departments. Talat has 965 PSL runs with four half-centuries.

Peshawar Zalmi's bowling attack features the express pace of West Indian Alzarri Joseph. The right-arm fast bowler will be making his maiden appearance in the PSL. Young spinners Mehran Mumtaz and Sufiyan Muqeem bring variety with their left-arm orthodox and unorthodox styles, respectively. Mumtaz grabbed a double against Quetta Gladiators in last year’s clash at the same venue.

Leg-spinner Arif Yaqoob adds further depth to an already lengthy spin department. Yaqoob has eight wickets in his past five matches in the PSL.

Quetta Gladiators

At the heart of the Quetta campaign could be Sri Lankan wicketkeeper-batter Kusal Mendis, with batting flair and stability behind the stumps. The opener has over 4500 T20 runs with two centuries and 32 half-centuries. Partnering him is Pakistan’s Saud Shakeel. His calm approach complements Mendis’ explosiveness.

The left-hander has 323 runs in his last ten PSL matches. Hasan Nawaz is a promising young batter with fresh energy to the top order. South African Rilee Rossouw orchestrates the innings with aggressive intent and seasoned leadership. The left-hander has over 2000 runs in the PSL.

The middle-order is a mix of raw firepower and all-round versatility. Khawaja Nafay continues to grow in confidence with each season. The ever-reliable Faheem Ashraf offers a dual threat with the ball and the bat and can be a clear match-winner for the team. The all-rounder has played in over 200 T20s in his career.

West Indian left-arm finger-spinner Akeal Hosein provides control and clever variations in the middle overs. He took four for 23 in four overs against Peshawar at Rawalpindi last year.

The Gladiators boast an exciting mix of experience and mystery. Mohammad Wasim is emerging as a vital asset with his ability to swing the ball early and deliver pinpoint yorkers in the death overs. He has 36 wickets for Pakistan in T20Is.

Mohammad Amir is still capable of magic with the new ball with his swing. He took two for 20 in four overs in his previous PSL bowling performance. The Pakistani international pace pair is ably supported by Abrar Ahmed with his bamboozling mystery spin. He has 16 wickets in his last ten PSL matches.

Usman Tariq rounds out the attack with his spin bowling and will have the hunger to impress.

PZ vs QG Toss Prediction

Batting first could be the preferred choice at the toss by both captains. Both results in the matches between these teams in 2024 were won by the side batting first.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

During daytime PSL matches at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, the pitch is renowned for its flat nature. This batting-friendly surface may offer minimal assistance to bowlers outside of the spinners. Batting first against the Gladiators at Rawalpindi last year, Peshawar scored 196 for eight in 20 overs.

Weather conditions will be like the days leading up to this fixture. Temperatures are likely to exceed 30 degrees Celsius, while being only slightly humid. There is a small chance of rain at five percent.

PZ vs QG: Who Will Win?

Peshawar Zalmi has two of the best batters in Pakistan leading its charge. We think it will only build from the success that it had previous season and should be able to start with a win. The Quetta Gladiators may struggle to match Peshawar Zalmi for power.

PZ vs QG win percentage stands at 51% in favor of PZ.
