Pakistan Super League 2023, Eliminator 2, Lahore Qalandars vs Peshawar Zalmi: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, and Live Streaming Details

Lahore Qalandars and Peshawar Zalmi will face each other in Eliminator 2 of the Pakistan Super League 2023 on Friday, March 17 at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore.

The Qalandars, led by Shaheen Shah Afridi, won seven of their first 10 league matches and were the first team to advance to the playoffs by cementing their spot in the top two. But since then, the defending champions have suffered two back-to-back batting collapses.

After being bowled out for 110 in their last league game against Karachi Kings, they slumped to a 84-run defeat at the hands of the Multan Sultans in the Qualifier. After being asked to chase down 161, the Qalandars were shot out for 76 in 14.3 overs.

The Zalmi, on the other hand, huffed and puffed on their way through to the playoffs by finishing fourth in the league stage. They won five out of 10 games and failed to defend targets of above 240 twice. But they are now one step away from qualifying for the final.

The Zalmi defeated Shadab Khan’s Islamabad United by 12 runs in Eliminator 1 on Thursday, March 16. Aamer Jamal was named the Player of the Match after he picked up the crucial wickets of Sohaib Maqsood and Alex Hales.
