Peshawar Zalmi vs Quetta Gladiators Match Analysis

The Pakistan Super League’s second match of the season will be between the Quetta Gladiators and Peshawar Zalmi. This presents a favorable prospect for both teams to secure an early victory in the competition.

The Peshawar Zalmi will begin their quest for a second PSL championship. After winning the competition in 2017, they have finished in second place three more times. They were taken out of the running in the playoffs in 2022 and 2023. Let’s see how this season plays out for them.

Despite winning the PSL title in 2019, Quetta has since earned four group-stage exits. They haven’t made it to the playoffs in five years, and their recent dismal performance may help or hinder them this time around. The next several weeks will be exciting for the Gladiators.

Peshawar Zalmi vs Quetta Gladiators Team Preview & Squads

Peshawar Zalmi

The hiring of West Indies fast bowler Shamar Joseph is the most recent major announcement from the Zalmi camp. He has joined the team instead of England’s great batsman Gus Atkinson, and he has high expectations after a recent brilliant performance in Test cricket against Australia.

Daniel Mousley, an England batter, presents Zalmi with an intriguing prospect. Despite not having received a cap at the ODI or T20I levels yet, he has gained experience for MI Emirates in the United Arab Emirates International League T20. This is encouraging for his stay in Pakistan.

Babar Azam, Rovman Powell, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Arshad Iqbal, Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Salman Irshad, James Neesham, Danish Aziz, Wahab Riaz, Sherfane Rutherford

Quetta Gladiators

Their skipper has changed. Sarfaraz Ahmed has been followed by South African Rilee Rossouw. Shaun Tait, a former Australian fast bowler, has also joined the Gladiators and should be a great asset to the support group. He will collaborate with Shane Watson, the head coach.

Quetta’s two best players are Sri Lankan all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga and West Indian batsman Sherfane Rutherford. Rutherford scores swiftly at the top of the order, while Hasaranga is one of the strongest wrist spinners that will be seen during the event.
