Quetta Gladiators Team News & Playing 11
QTG Team News
Mohammad Hasnain made a positive impact on his T20 debut, while Harry Gurney has also slotted into the pace attack. Gladiators fans will be keen to see if Sunil Narine can recover fully from his finger injury, meanwhile.
QTG Key Players
Shane Watson and Umar Akmal both hit two half-centuries in their opening six games, with Akmal just edging Watson overall with 201 runs to 193 from those games.

After four straight wins, Quetta went into their match with Multan Sultans last time out after back-to-back defeats.They had most recently beaten Lahore Qalandars by three wickets – Sarfraz Ahmed’s half-century helping them to 148/7 off the final ball – but the winning start ended there.

Peshawar Zalmi Team News & Playing 11
PSZ Team News
Peshawar Zalmi were unchanged last time out, sticking with an overseas quartet of Andre Fletcher, Kieron Pollard, Liam Dawson and captain Darren Sammy after victory against Multan Sultans. It meant no place for Dawid Malan, while Ibtisam Sheikh has been preferred to Sameen Gul with the ball.
PSZ Key Players
Hasan Ali’s wicket-taking form has been a key part of Peshawar Zalmi’s early success. He already 16 wickets from six matches prior to the game against Islamabad United last time out.
Ibtisam Sheikh was in wicket-taking form in that game, meanwhile, grabbing the key early wicket of Luke Ronchi in his first over.
Wahab Riaz has been outshone as a result, but his first six matches brought eight wickets with a brilliant economy rate too.
Zalmi’s batting line-up boasts strength in depth, meanwhile. Umar Amin (54*) and Kieron Pollard (52*) led them to victory against Multan Sultans, while Imam-ul-Haq scored 166 runs in his first five innings – including two half-centuries – and Umar Amin weighed in with 144 from his first four knocks.
It has helped compensate for Kamran Akmal’s lack of form, but his ability is well known – he was, after all, second-top run-scorer in last season’s PSL.
PSZ Team Form
Peshawar Zalmi went into their recent match with Islamabad United having won four of their first six games.

In the first meeting, Hasan Ali claimed 4-17 from four overs as the Sultans were all out for 145 – his third four-wicket haul of the tournament so far and, incredibly, his most expensive. Imam-ul-Haq hit 52 in reply as Zalmi claimed a five-wicket win.
