The Eliminator 2 match of Pakistan Super League 2023 is scheduled to play between Lahore Qalandars and Peshawar Zalmi on Friday 17th March 2023 at Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore.

Lahore Qalandars failed to avail themselves the first chance to reach the final of this tournament as they were beaten by Multan Sultans in a qualifier match. They performed well in this season of the Pakistan Super League and are leading the points table. They played ten league matches with seven wins to their name. They lost just three matches. Now they have another chance to qualify for the final of this season of PSL. Remember that they had played two matches against Peshawar Zalmi where they won just one match.

Peshawar Zalmi did not perform well in league matches. They could manage to win just five out of ten matches. They lost the same matches and are holding the fourth position on the points table. They crossed the first hurdle by beating their favorite team, Islamabad United in Emilinator match. This was a very close match where they won with a margin of just 12 runs. This win boosted the confidence level of this team and we are sure that they will perform well in this match.

Lahore Qalandars came to the qualifier match against Multan Sultans as a clear favorite team to win the match but they totally failed to give the best performance in each and every department of the game and faced a heavy defeat by a big margin of 84 runs where they lost the toss and were asked to field first. The performance of their bowling unit was average as they leaked 160 runs in 20 overs against the strong batting order of Multan Sultans. Lahore Qalandars are known as a strong batting team and they have the best bowlers like Shaheen Afridi, Zaman Khan, David Wiese, Rashid Khan, and Haris Rauf. They were not good in the previous match but we are hoping that they will perform well against Peshawar Zalmi. Haris Rauf proved the most successful and highest wicket-taker from their side with three wickets to his name in four overs against 34 runs.

Rashid Khan had performed well in this tournament and had played a main role in almost each and every win of the team. He was also good in the previous match where he picked one wicket in four overs while he was charged for just 18 runs. Zaman Khan was the other bowler with one wicket to his name in four overs against 36 runs. David Wiese also performed well even though he failed to pick any wicket he proved an economical bowler who leaked just 24 runs in four overs. Shaheen Afridi proved the most expensive bowler in the previous match. Not only he failed to pick any wicket but he also leaked a lot of runs. He was charged with 47 runs in four overs. The batting order of Lahore Qalandars is also strong and they had also performed well in this tournament but they totally failed to perform well in the previous match. Their full team came back to the pavilion on a total of just 76 runs in 14.3 overs while chasing the target of 161 runs. Sam Billings was the highest run-scorer with just 19 runs to his name. Haris Rauf scored 15 runs while David Wiese scored 12 runs. No other batsmen from their side could manage to enter into the double figures. Abdullah Shafique, Shaheen Afridi, Rashid Khan, and Zaman Khan were the batsmen who failed to open the account on the scoreboard.

Peshawar Zalmi had now won two matches in a row after losing their match against Multan Sultans and it this also an interesting point that they had beaten Islamabad United in two matches. They also performed well in this tournament against Lahore Qalandars and we are sure that this match is going to be very interesting. They lost the toss and were asked to bat first in the previous match against Islamabad United. The way how their batting order performed in that match was just outstanding. They scored a total of 183 runs in 20 overs. The top batting order of this team is very strong and they also performed well in this tournament. Saim Ayub, Babar Azam, Mohammad Haris, Haseebullah Khan, and Tom Kohler-Cadmore are leading the batting order of this team.

Babar Azam is back to good form after he scored his first century of the Pakistan Super League and now had scored fifties in two back-to-back matches. He was the most successful and highest run-scorer in the previous match with 64 runs to his name on just 39 balls with the help of ten boundaries. Mohammad Haris also had an outstanding performance with the bat and scored 34 runs on just 17 balls with the help of three boundaries and two huge sixes. Saim Ayub also performed well in this tournament and he scored 23 runs. Kohler-Cadmore scored 16 runs while Haseebullah Khan could manage to score 15 runs. The performance of the bowling unit of Peshawar Zalmi was not much impressive even though they defended the target of 184 runs and leaked 171 runs in 20 overs. Salman Irshad was the only successful bowler from their side with two wickets to his name in four overs while he was charged for just 18 runs. Aamer Jamal also picked up two wickets while he was charged with 36 runs in four overs. Azmatullah Omarzai picked one wicket while Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Wahab Riaz, and James Neesham were the bowlers who failed to pick any wicket in the previous match.

Lahore Qalandars had faced Peshawar Zalmi in 17 matches where they won 7 matches while Peshawar Zalmi won 10 matches.

According to today’s prediction, Lahore Qalandars is the favorite team to win this match. There are many factors that make Lahore Qalandars a favorite team to win this match.

Remember that this was a high-scoring match where a total of 515 runs were scored in both innings which is the highest total in any T20 match in the history of cricket.

The 30th match of Pakistan Super League 2023 is scheduled to play between Lahore Qalandars and Karachi Kings on Sunday 12th March 2023 at Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore.

Pakistan Super League is now shifting once again to Lahore where this match and all playoff matches will be played. This match of going to be held between the best-performing team and the worst-performing team. The way how Lahore Qalandars performed in this tournament is just outstanding. They had played nine matches with seven wins to their name. They had lost two matches and are leading the points table. Remember that they had lost their match against Karachi Kings earlier in this tournament but now they are playing at their home ground and we are sure that they will win this match.

Karachi Kings had disappointed its fans around the world and had failed to qualify for the playoff. They had also played nine matches with just two wins to their name. They had lost seven matches and are laying at the bottom of the points table. They had lost now three matches in a row. We know that they had already beaten Lahore Qalandars in this tournament and they have an edge but this is also true that they are not in the winning momentum. We can expect a lot of changes in the playing eleven of this match from the side of Karachi Kings. This match is going to be very interesting as both teams are traditional rivals and are almost equal in strength.

Lahore Qalandars had beaten Islamabad United in their most recent match with a huge margin of 119 runs. They were outstanding in each and every department of the game and outclassed Islamabad United. Earlier, they were beaten by Peshawar Zalmi by a margin of 36 runs. The bowling unit of Lahore Qalandars is very strong but the pitch at Pindi Club Ground is not good for the bowlers and we had already seen that teams are scoring more than 200 runs on this pitch in almost each and every match. This match will be held in Lahore and we think that the pitch will be good for bowlers. We saw the same in the previous match where Lahore Qalandars leaked 207 runs and send the full team of Peshawar Zalmi back to the pavilion in 19.3 overs. The skipper, Shaheen Afridi was the most successful and highest wicket-taker from their side with four wickets to his name in four overs against 31 runs.

Hussain Talat was the most successful and highest run-scorer from their side. He scored 63 runs on 37 balls with the help of four boundaries and five huge sixes. The skipper, Shaheen Afridi also had an outstanding performance with the bat and scored his first fifty of this edition of the Pakistan Super League. He scored a total of 52 runs on 36 balls and smashed three boundaries and five huge sixes. Sikandar Raza is in good form but he could manage to score just 20 runs.

He remained not out till the 20th over. Irfan Khan also had an outstanding performance with the bat and scored 30 runs on 20 balls with the help of four boundaries.

A Rossington scored 20 runs while Tayyab Tahir could manage to score 19 runs and Matthew Wade remained not out after scoring 13 runs. Karachi Kings lost the previous match due to the worst performance by their bowling unit. They failed to defend the target of 202 runs and leaked this target in 19.2 overs.

This match is going to be very interesting as both teams are almost equal in strength.

Lahore Qalandars had faced Karachi Kings in 16 matches where they won 6 matches while Karachi Kings won 10 matches.

The 29th match of Pakistan Super League 2023 is scheduled to play between Islamabad United and Peshawar Zalmi on Sunday 12th March 2023 at Pindi Club Ground, Rawalpindi.

Islamabad United had qualified for the playoff of this edition of the Pakistan Super League but they have to win this match to cement their place in the top two positions. They had played a total of nine matches with six wins to their name. They had lost three matches and are holding the second position on the points table. They won three matches in a row but lost their most recent match against Lahore Qalandars by a big margin of 119 runs.

Peshawar Zalmi is currently holding the fourth position on the table and they have to win this match at any cost to cement their place in the playoff. Remember that if Peshawar Zalmi loses this match, Quetta Gladiators will have some chances to qualify for the next level of this tournament. Peshawar Zalmi had won just four out of nine matches played. They had lost five matches and are situated in the fourth position on the ladder. Remember that they were beaten by Multan Sultans in their most recent match by a handsome margin of four wickets.

Islamabad United performed well in the previous three matches but totally failed to give the best performance in their most recent match against Lahore Qalandars and lost the match by a huge margin of 119 runs. They lost the toss and were asked to field first. The performance of their bowling unit was very poor as they leaked 226 runs in 20 overs. We have no doubt that the bowling unit of Islamabad United is very strong but they did not perform well. They used six bowlers in that match where Fazalhaq Farooqi was the highest wicket-taker from their side with three wickets to his name in four overs while he was charged for 40 runs. Hasan Ali was the other bowler who performed well and picked one wicket in four overs against 33 runs. Mohammad Wasim Jr was the other bowler from their side who had a wicket to his name but he leaked a lot of runs.

Mohammad Wasim Jr was charged with 48 runs in four overs while Faheem Ashraf, Mubasir Khan, and the skipper, Shadab Khan were the bowlers who failed to pick any wicket. Remember that Faheem Ashraf was charged with 43 runs in four overs. We think that Islamabad United will make a couple of changes in the bowling unit for this match. The batting order of Islamabad United is also strong but totally failed to give the best performance and their full team came back to the pavilion with a total of just 107 runs in 15.1 overs while chasing the target of 227 runs. Hasan Ali and Alex Hales were the highest run-scorers with just 18 runs to their names each. Rahmanullah Gurbaz is a strong batsman of this team but he also failed to give the best performance and scored 15 runs. Colin Munro, Shadab Khan, Mubasir Khan, Asif Ali, and Faheem Ashraf are part of the batting squad of Islamabad United and had performed well in this tournament but these all batsmen totally failed to give the best performance in the previous match. Islamabad United is a team that can bounce back and we are sure that they will make comeback in this match.

The most recent match of Peshawar Zalmi was very interesting against Multan Sultans. This match was a high-scoring where a total of 486 runs were scored in both innings. Peshawar Zalmi won the toss and decided to bat first. This decision worked for this team properly and they scored a total of 242 runs in 20 overs. Almost all batsmen from their side put some runs on the board. Babar Azam was the most successful and highest run-scorer from their side with 73 runs to his name on 39 balls with the help of nine boundaries and two huge sixes. Saim Ayub also had an outstanding performance with the bat and scored 58 runs on just 33 balls with the help of five boundaries and four huge sixes. Tom Kohler-Cadmore was the other batsman who put some runs on the board. He scored 38 runs while he faced just 18 balls and smashed four boundaries and two huge sixes.

Mohammad Haris had performed well in this edition of the Pakistan Super League and he also performed well in the previous match where he scored 35 runs on just 11 balls.
