Peshawar Zalmi vs Rawalpindiz prediction

A new edition to the tournament, Rawalpindiz are out to make waves in the Pakistan Super League and will hope that Mohammad Rizwan at the top of the order can help them get off to a fast start whether they be setting or chasing a target. But they’ll need to overcome Babar Azam and Peshawar Zalmi, who shouldn’t have issues scoring runs with James Vince and Iftikhar Ahmed also in the line-up.

Going under radar is the quality of Peshawar’s bowling attack, who could surprise many in the competition. Bangladesh international Shoriful Islam is in excellent form, whilst new captain Mohammad Haris provides a fresh perspective on how to go about things and he should rotate his bowling unit extremely often in an attempt to keep the opposition guessing. As the more settled side, back Peshawar to keep Pindiz waiting for their first ever PSL win.
