Battle Between Islamabad United vs Peshawar Zalmi Happens Today

Islamabad United’s performance is amazing. Their first game was an incredible win with a margin of eight runs against Lahore Qalandars. The bowlers of the team, mainly Shadab Khan and Naseem Shah, had a good game while fielding only. They had a brilliant 8-wicket win in their first match against Lahore Qalandars. Shadab Khan and Naseem Shah’s bowlers had a thunderous game in the field. Lahore was very quickly restricted to a small target, which was easily run down by the batsmen.

Islamabad United may have a chance to challenge if Peshawar Zalmi loses again. Zalmi is not in good shape because of their loss to Quetta Gladiators. Moreover, their bowlers struggled to get the opposition out as easily as they wanted to. Even though Zalmi has a powerful batting unit of Babar Azam and Saim Ayub, it was an off-day for their batters, and the bowlers’ performance was not up to their mark. So far, these two teams have a pretty similar record, with 12 wins each, and in the remaining encounter, the match ended without a result. However, Islamabad United has won more than Peshawar Zalmi in the latest matches by winning the last two games and even eliminating Zalmi in a very important competition in their previous season.

Historically, the pitch at Rawalpindi Cricket Ground has always been regarded as where bowlers stand a chance, especially spinners. It then becomes even clearer that the side that manages to score more from the very beginning is the one that pulls the game in its direction.

Watchers of the game can see the match on Sony Sports Network and live stream on Fancode. As darkness settles over Rawalpindi, the eyes of the world will be on this highly competitive game, with Islamabad looking to keep their winning streak and Peshawar looking to get their own back in case they win.
