PES vs QUE T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, PSL 2024
Match 2 of the 2024 Pakistan Super League sees Peshawar Zalmi and Quetta Gladiators go head to head at the Gaddafi Stadium on Sunday afternoon. Zalmi finished third overall after a fourth placed group stage with the Gladiators finishing bottom of the table. Read on as we preview this game. The match gets underway in Lahore at 15:00 local time on Sunday 18th February.
Peshawar Zalmi finished only two points behind last year’s runners-up Multan Sultans in the group stage and only four behind Lahore Qalandars so they will not need major changes to finish higher this season. We expect them to get off to a winning start.
Quetta Gladiators were very disappointing throughout last year’s PSL but they have a good squad of players who will certainly be targeting the play-offs this season. Although they may not get off to a winning start, we expect them to be competitive in this match.
