THE LOWDOWN

ISLAMABAD UNITED

• Islamabad United are unlucky to be competing in this eliminator as opposed to the qualifier after finishing level on points with Multan Sultans, but their inferior net-run-rate has worked against them.
• It’s crucial that Islamabad improve on their most recent showings, with consecutive defeats against Lahore Qalandars and Peshawar Zalmi not the ideal preparation for the play-offs.

PESHAWAR ZALMI

• Peshawar Zalmi enter the play-offs with the outsiders, having won the least number of games in the league compared to their three opponents, but how often do we see the outsider go on to peak in the play-offs and lift the trophy…
• It was a 50-50 record for Peshawar, winning five and losing five of their ten fixtures played, but their most recent victory came against their opponents here, whom they defeated by 13 runs this past Sunday.

THE PREDICTION

Islamabad United will be worried about the volume of runs which they have been conceding lately, which has proven costly in terms of their recent results. Two of Peshawar’s last three innings have seen them rack up scores of 240 or more and with arguably the best batter in the competition at their disposal in Babar Azam, the tools are there for them to get on top of Islamabad United from the first over, regardless of whether they are setting or chasing a target. As was the case last time these two teams collided, this should prove a fairly close battle, but backing Peshawar Zalmi to record a second straight win over Islamabad has to be favoured.
