In match 13 at Lahore’s Qaddafi Stadium, Peshawar Zalmi looks to build on their winning momentum as they take on the reigning champions, Islamabad United. It is scheduled to start at 7:00 p.m.
United is at number five on the points table, while Zalmi, headed by Babar Azam, is ranked fourth. In the premier cricket event, both teams will square off in an effort to improve their prospects of moving on to the next round.
Zalmi overcame Multan Sultans by 5 runs in an exciting match after a shady start to the marquee competition, while the squad later outperformed Lahore Qalandars in a thrilling Sunday battle.
After defeating Lahore Qalandars by eight wickets to open the season on a positive note, Islamabad United lost their next match against Multan Sultans and Quetta Gladiators last week.
After that, the squad dropped two games, but they are trying to win against Zalmi to move up to the number five spot in the standings.
Due to an injury, Alex Hales, United’s opener, will not play against Zalmi. The England cricket player will not be playing for his side in the next game due to a personal engagement. He will play the remaining games with his squad, beginning with the second leg in Karachi.
