In around 40 minutes, the match between Lahore Qalandars and Peshawar Zalmi will start. LQ is more star-studded when compared to PZ, as they have players like Fakhar Zaman, Rashid Khan, Haris Rauf, David Wiese and Shaheen Shah Afridi. PZ has Babar Azam though and they are heavily dependent on him. The match will take place at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, and we can expect the side batting first to make at least 200+. In the group stage, there were two encounters between these two sides and both of them won one match each.
This is a do or die match for Lahore and for me this may be the most important match in the PSL. I am supporting my home team Lahore Qalandars and I really want them to reach the finals.
Ideally, Lahore Qalandars are not good at chasing the runs but unfortunately, Shaheen Afridi lost the toss today and Babar Azam rightly decided to bat first.
Anyways, Lahore Qaladars must restrict Peshawar Zalmi to 160 or less runs so that the pressure does not pile up on them when they come to chase later in the evening.
By the way, we had some showers in the day and the weather is cool and ideal for playing and also watching cricket in the stadium.
