Peshawar Zalmi Team News & Playing 11
PSZ Team News
Andre Fletcher was a late call-up after Waqar Salamkheil's international commitments rendered him unavailable. He slotted straight in at the top of the order and, despite losing in their first game, Zalmi might be unchanged.
PSZ Key Players
Wahab Riaz continues to shine with the ball. He took 18 wickets in last season's PSL, while he arrived for this season's tournament after bowling Comilla Victorians to Bangladesh Premier League success - including taking 3-28 in the final. In Zalmi's first game, he claimed 2-18 from his four overs.
Another player to continue the form he showed in last season's tournament was Kamran Akmal, who hit 49 from 36 balls at the top of the order. He was also in excellent form for Lahore Whites in the National T20 Cup in December with some big innings to lead them to victory.
Misbah-ul-Haq also scored 49 last time out, unbeaten from 32 balls, as the veteran batsman continues to impress despite now being 44.
With the ball, Hasan Ali took 1-30 last time out, and needs two more wickets for 100 in T20 cricket. This will be his 80th full appearance in the format.
PSZ Team Form
Peshawar Zalmi were beaten finalists last season but started this year with a defeat - failing to defend 155/4 against Quetta Gladiators. Kamran Akmal and Misbah-ul-Haq both scored 49, while Wahab Riaz claimed 2-18 from four overs, but the Gladiators won by six wickets with two balls to spare.
Peshawar Zalmi Predicted Playing 11
Kamran Akmal, Andre Fletcher, Misbah Ul Haq, Sohaib Maqsood, Kieron Pollard, Darren Sammy, Liam Dawson, Hasan Ali, Wahab Riaz, Umaid Asif, Sameen Gul
Lahore Qalandars Team News & Playing 11
LHQ Team News
Hardus Viljoen replaced Carlos Brathwaite last time out in the only change from the opening defeat. Whether Lahore Qalandars stick with a winning team will depend on the extent of Mohammad Hafeez's thumb injury, sustained when he was struck when bowling against Karachi Kings.
LHQ Key Players
While their eye-catching batting acquisitions caught the eye ahead of the season, it was their bowlers who led Lahore Qalandars to victory against Karachi Kings. Rahat Ali had already taken 4-29 in the first game, and followed that up with 3-19 last time out - taking the final three wickets in the final over against Karachi.
Haris Rauf had already claimed 4-23, bowling superbly at the death to rip through the Kings' middle-order to return his best T20 bowling figures, having only made his debut during the Abu Dhabi T20 Trophy.
Back to the batsmen and AB de Villiers will want to show his best batting form, as he did in the Bangladesh Premier League - he remains one of the world's finest limited-overs batsmen on his day.
Fakhar Zaman scored 26 last time out, to follow up his 65 from the opening game, while Sohail Akhtar has scores of 37 and 39 to his name. The duo have shared partnerships of 97 and 64 in their two matches so far.
LHQ Team Form
Lahore Qalandars lost their opening game, failing to defend 171/8 against Islamabad United on the opening night. Fakhar Zaman scored 65 from 44 balls in that total, but Rahat Ali's 4-29 ultimately counted for little as they fell to a five-wicket defeat.
Last time out, against Karachi Kings, they posted just 138/6 but Haris Rauf took 4-23 and Rahat Ali claimed 3-19 as they bowled the Kings out for 116 to earn a 22-run win.
Lahore Qalandars Predicted Playing 11
Fakhar Zaman, Sohail Akhtar, Brendan Taylor, AB de Villiers, Mohammad Hafeez, Anton Devcich, Hardus Viljoen, Yasir Shah, Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf, Rahat Ali

Peshawar Zalmi vs Lahore Qalandars Head to Head
Lahore Qalandars have won just one of their six previous matches against Peshawar Zalmi and lost both matches in each of the last two seasons. That includes being bowled out for 100 last season as Hasan Ali (3-22), Wahab Riaz (2-14) and Liam Dawson (3-20) all impressed, before Kamran Akmal hit an unbeaten half-century in a ten-wicket Zalmi win. Last time they met, the Qalandars posted 172/4 thanks to Anton Devcich's 70 from 42 balls but Kamran Akmal hit an unbeaten 107 from 61 balls as Zalmi chased it down to win by seven wickets with two overs to spare.
Peshawar Zalmi vs Lahore Qalandars Betting Odds
Peshawar Zalmi have a good record in this fixture but, despite that, Bet365 are offering 2.10 on them to beat Lahore Qalandars; the Qalandars are 1.72 to win.
Lahore's short price owes much to AB de Villiers' batting form and he is 3.25 to top score for them despite falling cheaply last time out. Fakhar Zaman is 3.50 to top score for the Qalandars.
In reply, Kamran Akmal was the star man in each of the two meetings between these teams last season. He is 3.75 to top score again - he also hit 49 in the opening game to prove his form.
Peshawar also boast one of last year's star bowlers, the in-form Wahab Riaz. He is 3.75 to be their top team bowler with Bet365. For Lahore Qalandars, Rahat Ali has taken seven wickets in two games but is as high as 4.50 to be their top bowler.
🏆 Peshawar Zalmi vs Lahore Qalandars Prediction
Peshawar Zalmi have the core of the team that finished second last season and they can get off the mark against Lahore Qalandars.
