Match Prediction

Peshawar Zalmi have a strong batting lineup with a lot of experienced players in their line-up. Their bowling attack is still a bit under-experienced and has been under pressure in the previous few games. Lahore Qalandars have lost six straight games and are struggling to get their first points with both their batting and bowling departments failing to perform well as a unit. Thus we fancy Peshawar Zalmi to win this game.
