LAH vs PES T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, PSL 2024
Match 17 of the 2024 Pakistan Super League sees Lahore Qalandars and Peshawar Zalmi go head to head on Saturday afternoon at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. The Qalandars have played six and lost six so far in the competition with Peshawar Zalmi picking up six points from their five games. Read on as we preview this match which begins at 14:00 local time on March 2nd in Rawalpindi.
Lahore Qalandars suffered not only another defeat in Match 14 to Multan Sultans but a heavy one by 60 runs in Tuesday’s game. Confidence is very low within the side and it would be a shock if they were able to beat Peshawar Zalmi in this fixture.
Peshawar Zalmi got off to a poor start in the 2024 PSL but are now up and running and moving up the table. However, although they have beaten Multan Sultans, Lahore Qalandars and Islamabad United in their last three matches, all the victories have been narrow ones.

Lahore Qalandars Team News & Playing 11
LAH Team News
With the first win of the tournament still evading them, Lahore Qalandars continue to ring the changes and they took the wicket-keeping gloves away from Shai Hope ahead of the last match with opener Sahibzada Farhan taking on the role of keeper-batter. We expect to see Hope back for this game.
LAH Key Players
- Rassie van der Dussen- the tall right-handed top order batter comes into this game averaging 75 from six innings in this campaign.
- Sahibzada Farhan- only four batters have hit over 235 runs in the 2024 PSL so far and the keeper-batter at the top of the order is one of them.
- Shaheen Shah Afridi- the captain may not have experienced a win for his side so far in PSL 2024 but he has impressed with his individual performances across the tournament.
- Sikandar Raza- we expect the Zimbabwean’s pace off spin bowling to be a good option for reducing the run-rate in Rawalpindi in this match.

Lahore Qalandars are looking to avoid their seventh successive defeat in the tournament in this game.

🏆 Lahore Qalandars vs Peshawar Zalmi Prediction
It is very hard to make an argument in support of Lahore Qalandars winning this match, particularly after they were so well beaten in their last match. Although they have some individual players producing strong performances, there is not enough depth across their side which is why they continue to search for their first victory of this season. Peshawar Zalmi have batters and bowlers in excellent form and we are backing them to win again in this game.
