Peshawar Zalmi vs Lahore Qalandars prediction

Peshawar Zalmi have been one of the hottest teams across the Pakistan Super League, having dropped just one point so far as the result of an abandoned match. They’ve won all three of their completed fixtures and are coming off the back of having thrashed Karachi Kings by a whopping 159 runs, the biggest win margin in PSL history. They also recorded the highest partnership for a single wicket in the competition as Kusal Mendis and Babar Azam added 191 runs together.

Lahore Qalandars though, boast a bowling attack capable of stopping Peshawar in their tracks. Any unit with Shaheen Shah Afridi in it will be a very strong prospect and this is the sort of fixture where the left-arm pacer tends to step up and show why he remains one of the best fast bowlers in the world. With seven wickets across his four appearances so far, explore backing Shaheen to gain at least another couple of scalps on this occasion.
