Led by Wahab Riaz, Zalmi are a well-balanced unit with a lot of firepower in the top order. With some of the best players in PSL 2022 set to take to the field, a cracking game beckons in Lahore.

PES vs ISL, PSL 2022, Eliminator 2
Date and Time: 24th February 2022; 8:00 PM IST.
Venue: Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore
Pitch Report
Although Lahore has seen its fair share of high-scoring games, the pitch has slowed down in recent games, making it a tad difficult for runscoring. There won't be much movement for the pacers early on, with a hint of inconsistent bounce on offer. However, the pacers will have to vary their pace and hit the hard lengths to get something off the track. The spinners will have a big role in the middle overs, making for an intriguing contest between bat and ball. Both teams will look to bat first upon winning the toss, with 160 being par at the venue.
Today’s PES vs ISL Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Mohammad Haris: Mohammad Haris has been a revelation in the PSL this season with a couple of player-of-the-match awards to his name as well. The Peshawar opener didn't score many runs in the previous game against Lahore Qalandars, but still remains a good option to get Peshawar off to a flyer in the powerplay. Given his form across the Lahore leg, Haris is one to watch out for in this game.
Batter
Alex Hales: Alex Hales is set to return to the Islamabad United set-up after missing a few games in the Lahore leg. The Englishman was one of the best batters in the league before he left, scoring over 200 runs at a strike fair rate. Given his knack for scoring quick runs at the top of the order, Hales is a good addition to your PES vs ISL Dream11 fantasy team.
All-rounder
Shadab Khan: Shadab Khan, like Alex Hales, had to miss out on a few games albeit due to injury. Before suffering a groin strain, Shadab Khan was the stand-out player in the PSL, scoring runs and picking up wickets for fun. Although he might be a bit rusty, Shadab's all-round skill-set and potential makes him a must-have in your PES vs ISL Dream11 fantasy team.
Bowler
Wahab Riaz: Peshawar Zalmi captain Wahab Riaz has been brilliant in the Lahore leg, picking up eight wickets in five matches. He comes into this game on the back of a player-of-the-match performance against Lahore Qalandars, which should hold him in good stead. Given his experience and form, Wahab could be backed to take a wicket or two in this game.
