Islamabad United vs Peshawar Zalmi prediction

Islamabad United’s bowling attack were taken down by Multan Sultans and that doesn’t bode well ahead of this next encounter, with Peshawar Zalmi having chased down 215 with five balls to spare against Rawalpindiz this past weekend. That victory was notable for how Peshawar saw contributions from the vast majority of their batting order, with six of their seven players who batted reaching double figures.

It's that strength-in-depth through the order that makes Peshawar clear favourites to overcome Islamabad. Zalmi have the ability to hit out from ball one and to clutch up when required. Islamabad haven’t proven themselves on that front yet, whilst the bowlers could regress if they get off to a bad start against this powerful Peshawar squad. Therefore, back Zalmi to claim two points.
