Monday night in Lahore, Islamabad United and Peshawar Zalmi will play Match 13 of the Pakistan Super League 2024. Peshawar Zalmi has four points from four games thus far, while Islamabad United has two from three games. On February 26, the match gets underway at Gaddafi Stadium at 19:00 local time.
Following their early victory over Lahore Qalandars, Islamabad United has subsequently suffered defeats at the hands of Multan Sultans and Quetta Gladiators. Nevertheless, they have a strong team and we anticipate that they will be competitive in this matchup.
Having won their opening two games of the competition on Friday and Sunday, Peshawar Zalmi will enter this match on Monday full of confidence. They should have enough runs to win this game with Babar Azam scoring runs consistently.
Islamabad United vs Peshawar Zalmi Team Preview & Squads
Islamabad United
With a few notable exceptions, not all of the players have performed up to par. While Colin Munro, Alex Hales, and Azam Khan haven’t exactly lit the stage on fire, Agha Salman and Shadab Khan have been outstanding for Team United at the bat. Shadab Khan, in particular, has shown with his excellent all-around abilities the value he might add to any squad. In the tournament, he has amassed significant runs and taken key wickets that have propelled Islamabad United to their current position.
Except for Tymal Mills and Naseem Shah, who have shown flashes of form and the capacity to produce big hits when called upon, United’s bowling has also mostly failed. Islamabad’s inability to grind out opponents or control their scoring indicates that Imad Wasim has not been playing at his peak.

Peshawar Zalmi
After making a few adjustments to the starting lineup, they defeat the defending champion Lahore Qalandars and the table-topping Multan Sultans in back-to-back victories. The way that three of Peshawar Zalmi’s in-form batsmen—Babar Azam, Saim Ayub, and Rovman Powell—have conducted themselves has contributed to their comeback. They have scored the majority of their team’s runs, with Babar Azam standing out with four scores of thirty or more in the games they have played thus far.
With 734 runs scored in 4 games, they are currently averaging about 183 runs per game, which is really impressive. However, bowling hasn’t been as reliable or successful. Salman Irshad and Luke Wood have both been consistent with the ball, taking six wickets apiece. Although Paul Walter of the Brisbane Heat and Arif Yaqoob have contributed a few from their two appearances thus far in the tournament, Naveen ul Haq has not yet found his footing.

Islamabad United vs Peshawar Zalmi outfield report
Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore
Thus far in this tournament, we have only witnessed one team in Lahore decide to field first after winning the toss. Before this match, we believe that both sides will want to field first.
With the temperature in the high teens and the humidity staying in the upper fifties, it is unlikely that the weather will alter significantly during the game.
The spinners should have some turn and bounce on what could be a decent, competitive track in Lahore. In the first inning, a par score will be between 160 and 175.
