Peshawar Zalmi vs Hyderabad Kingsmen prediction

Hyderabad Kingsmen have come a long way since losing their opening four games of their inaugural PSL season. A run of five wins from their next six league stage matches secured them a place in the play-offs as fourth-place finishers via net-run-rate and Marnus Labuschagne’s side have ridden that momentum right into the final after winning both eliminators, the latter by just two runs in a thriller against Islamabad United.

Peshawar Zalmi meanwhile, are the strongest team coming into the final, after ending the league stage top of the table with eight wins and 17 points, four more than their nearest rivals. A resounding 70-run victory over Islamabad United in the qualifier booked their place in the final, the brilliant Babar Azam striking a majestic century.

In Babar and Sri Lankan Kusal Mendis, Peshawar boasts the second highest run scorers in this season’s PSL and it’s this excellent run production that should prove crucial against the Kingsmen. Whilst Glenn Maxwell is a big threat on Hyderabad Kingsmen’s side with his big-hitting ability, the depth and overwhelming top order quality that Peshawar possess makes them well worth backing to come out on top in the final.
