LAH vs PES Dream11 Team Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips & Playing 11 Updates for Today's PSL 2021 Match - February 21st, 2021

Match 2 of the Pakistan Super League (PSL 2021) will see the Lahore Qalandars taking on Peshawar Zalmi at the National Stadium in Karachi on Sunday.

PSL 2020 finalists Lahore Qalandars are back in action with a new and improved squad. Although they missed out on Chris Lynn, the Qalandars have roped in Rashid Khan, adding more strength to their already-fearsome bowling attack. With Ben Dunk and Samit Patel returning to the fore once again, the Qalandars will be hoping to go one step further in this year's competition.

Their opponents, Peshawar Zalmi, overhauled their squad, with Wahab Riaz leading the side in PSL 2021. With the additions of Mujeeb Ur Rehman and Ravi Bopara, Peshawar have a balanced side that are capable of going the distance in the competition. Adding the experience of Kamran Akmal only sweetens the deal for the former PSL champions.

While both teams look evenly-matched on paper, Lahore Qalandars' bowling stands out with arguably two of the best T20 bowlers in Rashid Khan and Shaheen Afridi joining forces. But the experienced Peshawar outfit should prove to be a handful for Sohail Akhtar and co. in what should be an entertaining game of cricket in the first double-header in PSL 2021.

Pitch Report

A high-scoring game beckons at the National Stadium, with some help on offer for the pacers. While the average score at this venue in 2019 was 158, the batsmen should find it easy to score runs early on. The pacers will look to alter their lengths and pace accordingly, with some swing available with the new ball. With it being an afternoon fixture, both teams will look to bat first and post a total close to 165, which is about par at this venue.
