LAHORE: Boosted by an impressive display of batting prowess and a triumph over Lahore Qalanders last night, Peshawar Zalmi is set to take on Islamabad United in a match of Pakistan Super League (PSL) season 9 today.
The game is scheduled to unfold at the Gaddafi Stadium, which witnessed an intense showdown previously as Peshawar posted a formidable total of 211 runs, subsequently restraining Lahore to 203 despite Rassie van der Dussen’s stellar unbeaten knock of 104 runs from 52 balls.
Peshawar Zalmi played four matches thus far, securing victory in two encounters and conceding defeat in two. Conversely, Islamabad United has played three matches, managing to emerge victorious only once.
