Peshawar Zalmi Team News & Playing 11
Kamran Akmal, Dwayne Smith and Mohammad Hafeez are the pillars of their batting. Hafeez struck his second fifty of the PSL 3 in the last match against Multan Sultans. The top-order batsman is currently the second-highest run-scorer of the tournament and he will be expected to make a big contribution against Islamabad United. Peshawar Zalmi will turn to their pacemen Umaid Asif and Wahab Riaz to do the job with the ball. Asif has been the pick of the bowlers with seven wickets in five matches and he will be backed by his team to take early wickets.
Peshawar Zalmi Predicted Playing 11

Mohammad Hafeez (c), Kamran Akmal (wk), Dwayne Smith, Wahab Riaz, Andre Fletcher, Hammad Azam, Liam Dawson, Riki Wessels, Umaid Asif, Sameen Gul, Hasan Ali
Islamabad United Team News & Playing 11
While JP Duminy, Luke Ronchi and Hussain Talat hold the key to Islamabad's batting at the top, the middle-order relies heavily on skipper Misbah-ul-Haq. They were let down by their batsmen in the earlier encounter against Peshawar Zalmi and so they will be looking to come out with a better performance this time around. Mohammad Sami who is amongst the leading wicket-takers this PSL will spearhead the team's pace attack while Shadab Khan will be their best option when it comes to spin. Peshawar will also be wary of Faheem Ashraf who took two wickets in the reverse fixture.

Misbah-ul-Haq (c), Mohammad Sami, Jean-Paul Duminy, Luke Ronchi (wk), Samit Patel, Samuel Badree/Steven Finn, Asif Ali, Hussain Talat, Shadab Khan, Faheem Ashraf, Sahibzada Farhan
Peshawar Zalmi vs Islamabad United Prediction
The two teams have played six matches against each other in the Pakistan Super League with both having won three times each. Islamabad United have won three of their last four matches played against Peshawar Zalmi which should give the former an edge going into this game. However, the latter registered a convincing 34-run win when these two sides faced-off in the fourth match of the season. Furthermore, Islamabad United have been dealt a big blow as key all-rounder Andre Russell has been ruled out of the tournament with a hamstring injury. We thus predict Peshawar Zalmi to win this match.
Final Verdict: Back Peshawar Zalmi to beat Islamabad United.
