Pakistan Super League 2023, Match 9, Quetta Gladiators vs Peshawar Zalmi: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, and Live Streaming Details
The Quetta Gladiators and Peshawar Zalmi are set to cross swords with each other in Match No.9 of the Pakistan Super League 2023 on Monday, February 20. The match will take place at the National Stadium in Karachi.
The Gladiators, led by Sarfaraz Ahmed, started their campaign with a nine-wicket defeat at the hands of Mohammad Rizwan’s Multan Sultans. But they made an incredible comeback by beating Babar Azam’s Peshawar Zalmi by six runs in their next game.
Martin Guptill was the star of the show for them on Saturday after he became the first batter to score a hundred in the ongoing edition of the PSL. The Gladiators, however, need to take care of their net run rate, which is at -1.199.
The Zalmi, on the other hand, beat Imad Wasim’s Karachi Kings by two runs to get their campaign underway. But then, table-toppers Sultans handed them a hefty 56-run defeat on February 17.
After being asked to chase down 211, Saim Ayub scored a half-century, but his efforts went in vain. Former PCB chief Ramiz Raja said that both Mohammad Haris and Ayub have the potential to open the batting for Pakistan in T20Is.
