On Monday, the Lahore Qalandars (LAH) will face Peshawar Zalmi (PES) in the 30th match of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2022 at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore.
The Lahore Qalandars have had a beautiful home record, winning three of their four games at the Gaddafi Stadium. While their batting unit has been inconsistent at times, their bowling attack, which includes Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf, has been their strength.
Despite the absence of Rashid Khan for the remainder of the PSL, Lahore will fancy their chances against Peshawar Zalmi, who are on a three-match win. Both teams are still in position to finish second in the points standings, giving them two opportunities to go to the final. In Lahore, a thrilling match awaited with a lot on the line in the last league match.
At the Gaddafi Stadium, a high-scoring game is likely, with dew likely to play a role. The pacers should get some swing early on with the new ball, but as the match goes, a change of pace will be important.
In the middle overs, there should be some turn available, bringing the spinners into play. With both teams likely to prefer chasing after winning the toss, having wickets in hand will be important. At this location, 160-170 should be the average, but both teams are capable of breaking the 180-point limit.
