This match gets underway in Lahore at 19:00 local time.
Islamabad United have plenty of depth in their squad but we expect them to select their best XI for this match. If they play at their best they will be very hard to beat.
Peshawar Zalmi got an important win over Islamabad United without some of their top players last weekend. They will have plenty of confidence ahead of this play-off match.
