Peshawar Zalmi and Quetta Gladiators are having same points but the later have better run rate, as a result of which they are one place above in ranking. Peshawar won their last game against Karachi Kings whereas Quetta Gladiators lost their last match against Lahore Qalandars.
If we look at batting unit of Peshawar Zalmi, it look very comfortable. Hazratullah Zazai and Mohammad Haris were in great touch against Karachi as the duo played innings of 52, 49 runs respectively. Liam Livingston, Shoaib Malik, Ben Cutting form indestructible middle order.
Sherfane Rutherford is known for his muscular hits and can destroy any bowling attack down the order on his day. Alongwith him, Haider Ali, Amad Butt are also capable of scoring quick runs.
Talking about bowling department, Zalmi have experienced Wahab Riaz along with young talented pacer Salman Irshad. The duo picked two wickets each in their last game against Karachi and ended with figures of 4-0-24-2, 4-0-26-2 respectively.
All rounder like Livingston is always a bonus for any team as he can create big impact with his leg spin in middle overs of the game along with Shoaib Malik. Mohammad Umar, Amad Butt are currently doing well with their line and lengths.
Things did not go well for Gladiators in their previous encounter against Lahore Qalandars as their experienced batting collapsed. They do have English superstars like Jason Roy, James Vince but the duo went for a duck in their last match.
Skipper and wicket keeper batsmen Sarfaraz Ahmed has been leading this franchise on the field since long but at the age of 35 we can’t expect much from him in this format of the game. Iftikhar Ahmed and Umar Akmal were only two positive batsmen from the last game.
They do have a weak bowling unit as compared with Zalmi, their batsmen need to step up and play with responsibility if they want to maintain their spot in top four.
Sohail Tanvir is an experienced pacer but he is nearing his retirement. Apart from Naseem Shah, Noor Ahmad no other bowler is able to perform consistently for Gladiators. Their star all rounder ( Mohammad Nawaz ) has been ruled out of tournament and is a big blow for Sarfaraz and company.
