Lahore Qalandars vs Peshawar Zalmi Match Prediction, PSL 2020
Resurgent Lahore Qalandars take on second-placed Peshawar Zalmi at the Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore, as the Pakistan Super League action continues. The match takes place on March 10 and the live action is scheduled to start at 19:00 local time.
The Qalandars made it three wins from four games last time out, when Ben Dunk hit his second 90+ score of the tournament. The big-hitting Australian scored 99* from 40 balls to lead the Qalandars to 190/2 in 19.1 overs – an eight-wicket win against Karachi Kings.
Peshawar Zalmi have won their last two in a row, meanwhile – albeit two games affected by the rain. They won a 15-over match against Quetta Gladiators fairly comfortably, and were then ahead of the DLS par score when rain curtailed their match with Islamabad United last time out too.

Toss Prediction
Lahore Qalandars have fielded first upon winning the toss in each of the last three matches. They are due to lose this toss then, and Peshawar Zalmi could field first this time.
Weather Report
Lahore is set to be a little cloudy but crucially the rain forecast for later in the week will be nowhere to be seen when this match takes place.
Pitch Condition
The Lahore wicket has generally favoured the batting team in this year’s Pakistan Super League.

Lahore Qalandars Team News & Playing 11
LHQ Team News
Lahore have tinkered regularly with their bowling line-up, with Maaz Khan and Usman Shinwari returning last time out. After Shinwari was once again expensive with the ball, they may be keen to get Dilbar Hussain and/or Haris Rauf back from injury and back into this team.
LHQ Key Players
Ben Dunk: In superb batting form, having now twice scored rapid 90+ scores in Lahore’s resurgent run. Last time out, he hit 12 sixes on his way to 99* from 40 balls.
Shaheen Afridi: Wicketless last time out, but he has led the pace attack – particularly with Rauf and Hussain out – and remains key with the ball.
Samit Patel: No repeat of his 4-5 from the previous game last time out, but he bowled tidily and has batted well when called upon too.
LHQ Team Form
Lahore Qalandars have now won three of their last four PSL 2020 matches to get back on course for a play-off spot. Ben Dunk has been key to that, with 93 in the first win against Quetta Gladiators and 99* as they chased 188 to beat Karachi Kings last time out.
In between, they folded for 127 in a dismal defeat to Islamabad United but then beat Quetta again after Samit Patel’s 4-5 restricted the defending champions to just 98/9 from their 20 overs.
Lahore Qalandars Predicted Playing 11
Fakhar Zaman, Sohail Akhtar (c), Ben Dunk, Mohammad Hafeez, Dane Vilas (wk), Samit Patel, David Wiese, Shaheen Afridi, Salman Irshad, Dilbar Hussain, Haris Rauf
Peshawar Zalmi Team News & Playing 11
PSZ Team News
Kieron Pollard will play no part in this year’s Pakistan Super League. The West Indian all-rounder was set to join the team, having played for West Indies against Sri Lanka – which included his 500th T20 appearance – but a thigh injury means Carlos Brathwaite will remain with Zalmi instead. Tom Banton returned to the team last time out and could continue up the order.
PSZ Key Players
Kamran Akmal: Hit an important 37 from 21 balls last time out – an innings which ensured Zalmi were well ahead on the DLS method when the rain arrived.
Shoaib Malik: Did not bat last time out, but his innings of 68 and 54 in the two previous games were a reminder of the scintillating T20 form he has recently been showing.
Wahab Riaz: Took his ninth wicket of the tournament last time out as he gets closer and closer to 300 in T20 cricket.
PSZ Team Form
After so much inconsistency this season, Peshawar Zalmi have finally won two matches in a row – against Quetta Gladiators and then Islamabad United.
Both matches were reduced by the rain, but Shoaib Malik’s 27-ball 54 was key as they posted 170/6 against Quetta and won by 30 runs. Last time out, they were 85/2 from nine overs after Kamran Akmal’s 37 from 21 balls when the rain came – seven runs ahead on the DLS method.
Peshawar Zalmi Predicted Playing 11
Kamran Akmal (wk), Imam-ul-Haq, Tom Banton, Haider Ali, Liam Livingstone, Shoaib Malik, Carlos Brathwaite, Wahab Riaz (c), Hasan Ali, Rahat Ali, Yasir Shah
Lahore Qalandars vs Peshawar Zalmi Head to Head
Peshawar Zalmi’s win when these teams met at the end of February continued their winning streak in this fixture and means they have now eight matches out of nine in the Pakistan Super League. The match this season was reduced to 12 overs because of the rain, and Dilbar Hussain took 4-24 as Zalmi posted 132/7. Lewis Gregory then took 4-25, however, as they restricted the Qalandars to 116/6 in reply.
