Pakistan Super League 2022, Quetta Gladiators vs Peshawar Zalmi: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast and Live Streaming Details
Quetta Gladiators will take on Peshawar Zalmi in the second match of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2022. The National Stadium in Karachi will host this encounter.
Quetta Gladiators will be led by former Pakistan captain Sarfaraz Ahmed. He guided them to the PSL title in 2019 but had disappointing seasons in 2020 and 2021 as they failed to qualify for the playoffs. The Gladiators will be hoping for a much-improved performance in the upcoming edition of the PSL.
The batting lineup consists of Ahmed, Umar Akmal and Shimron Hetmyer. Mohammad Hasnain, Naseem Shah and veteran Sohail Tanvir will lead the pace-bowling department. Shahid Afridi will miss out on a few games as he tested positive ahead of their opening game.
Peshawar Zalmi, meanwhile, has put in a strong squad for the seventh edition of the PSL. Wahab Riaz has been handed the responsibility of leading the team and he will be looking to lead the side by example over the next few weeks.
Hazratullah Zazai, Tom Kohler-Cadmore and Sherfane Rutherford form a formidable batting unit. The experience of Kamran Akmal and Shoaib Malik will help them in the long run. Riaz will be leading the bowling attack and it remains to be seen how far they will go in the competition.
