Peshawar Zalmi vs Quetta Gladiators Team Preview & Squads
Peshawar Zalmi
In the final match, Babar Azam’s team won by a margin of four runs over the Multan Sultans. On an otherwise poor day, the Zalmi bowlers managed to defend the score in a run feast that tallied over 400 runs. Azam will be aware of the task ahead for his team in the upcoming match and will be hoping for a strong performance from his men.
Alongside 394 runs, Babar Azam is the top run scorer and will try to get off to a strong start alongside Saim Ayub. They have a solid middle order and will look to Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Haseebullah Khan, and Rovman Powell to score runs in this contest. They’ll be hoping for Asif Ali and Aamer Jamal to have strong finishes.
Saim Ayub and Luke Wood will need to have strong stints with the new ball because the bowling attack hasn’t played well this season. Naveen-ul-Haq and Mehran Mumtaz performed admirably in the previous match, therefore the team will require their tight bowling. Aamer Jamal and Salman Irshad need to perform well because the other bowlers haven’t been reliable.
The team led by Rilee Rossouw has slowed down somewhat in recent games. In their most recent match against the Karachi Kings, they lost by a wicket. They will try to improve upon that as it was the team’s worst batting performance of the year. Rossouw will try to recover and bolster their position in the following round.
Given how well they have performed this season, the team will need a strong start from Jason Roy and Saud Shakeel. The combination of Khawaja Nafay, Sarfaraz Ahmed, and Rilee Rossouw makes this middle-order strong. The team needs a strong performance from Sherfane Rutherford and Akeal Hosein, who both can strike the ball.
Given that they would be facing the most formidable batting lineup, Mohammad Amir and Akeal Hosein need to bowl well with the new ball. With Usman Tariq, Abrar Ahmed should do well in the middle overs because he has been playing well. Rutherford and Muhammad Hasnain give this bowling attack more depth.
