Peshawar Zalmi Team News & Playing 11
Team News
Peshawar Zalmi do not have any fresh injury issues to deal with at the moment. No changes in their playing 11 are expected for this upcoming fixture.
Key Players
Much of Peshawar's batting is going to depend on their opening pair of Tamim Iqbal and Kamran Akmal, both of whom have a fifty each against their names in this PSL. Tamim is averaging better at 41 and we predict the Bangladeshi batsman to play a significant innings for his side in this match. Medium pacer Hasan Ali has been the pick of the bowlers for Peshawar Zalmi. He has taken six wickets from as many matches and he will be backed by his team to dismiss Quetta’s key batters early on.
Recent Form
Peshawar Zalmi have played six league matches so far with one of these not producing a result due to washout. So out of the five completed fixtures, they have two wins and three losses and are sitting second to bottom on the points table. Peshawar had begun their campaign decently with two wins from their first three games but now find themselves in a spot of bother with defeats in their last two games.

Quetta Gladiators Team News & Playing 11
Team News
The selectors are likely to retain the same group of 11 that were part of the winning team in the last game against Karachi Kings. The team is in good physical condition with all the players injury free.
Key Players
Openers Asad Shafiq and Ahmed Shehzad were involved in a century-stand, hitting twin fifties in the last game against Karachi Kings. While Quetta will want these two to keep up the good work, their best bet with the bat will be Rilee Rossouw who is currently the second-highest run-getter of the PSL 2017. When it comes to bowling, the skipper will turn to the team's leading wicket-taker Hasan Khan and Mahmudullah to pick up wickets. The latter took 3-21 to help his side win the last match and we predict him to replicate that performance against Peshawar on Saturday.
Recent Form
Quetta Gladiators are comfortably placed at the top of points table and have now extended their lead from the second placed Lahore Qalandars to three points. They have won four and lost just one match out of the six they have played so far with one of these getting washed out. They won their last two fixtures against Lahore and Karachi respectively.
Quetta Gladiators Predicted Playing 11
-
Asad Shafiq, Ahmed Shehzad, KP Pietersen, RR Rossouw, Sarfraz Ahmed (c/wk), Mahmudullah, Anwar Ali, Mohammad Nawaz, Hasan Khan, Mir Hamza, TS Mills.

Peshawar Zalmi vs Quetta Gladiators Head to Head
Out of the four matches played between the two teams in the PSL, Quetta Gladiators have won two while Peshawar Zalmi have won one with the most recent game ending in a washout. Last season, there were two matches played at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium and both were won by the Gladiators. The last time these two sides met in a completed match was in the 1st qualifying final of the PSL 2016 where the Zalmi were narrowly defeated by one run.
Peshawar Zalmi vs Quetta Gladiators Betting Odds
Like the previous season, Quetta Gladiators are performing really well and they have lost just one game so far. They trumped Karachi Kings in their last match to become the first of the five franchises to qualify for the knockout round. Peshawar Zalmi have not been able to replicate what they did last year and they desperately need some wins to stay alive in the competition. While they are 1.45 with 1xbet, Quetta Gladiators are marginal favorites to win this match at 1.42.
Peshawar Zalmi vs Quetta Gladiators Prediction
Quetta Gladiators boast a terrific record at Dubai with 8 wins from 10 matches whereas Peshawar Zalmi have been average here with 5 wins and 4 losses from their 9. Also, taking into account the last five completed fixtures of both the teams in the PSL 2017, it is Quetta again who have the upper hand with four wins as opposed to Peshawar's two. Plus, the former have beaten the latter in both the matches they have played against each other at this ground. Peshawar therefore will be wary of the fact that they have never won against Quetta at Dubai. Quetta Gladiators are looking unstoppable at the moment and so we predict them to win this match.
Final Verdict: Back Quetta Gladiators to beat Peshawar Zalmi in the 19th match of PSL 2017 with odds of 1.45 at 1xbet
