If the afternoon was the top-of-the-table clash, the evening’s game will be at the other end of the table. It is the number 5 placed Peshawar Zalmi going to the den of the defending champions Lahore Qalandars. The two sides have a host of talented names in their team but haven’t seen the result translate into a win.
Lahore Qalandars (LAH) came into the tournament dramatically having won the title last year. Shaheen Afridi would have wanted to have made a better start to the campaign but that sadly has failed. The fatigue factor would have set in as this is their second game in two days. The Lahore team and its fans will want to get their season back on track to get into the playoffs.
Peshawar Gladiators (PES) had lost two games on the bounce before beating Multan Sultans. This was their first win of the season to ease the pressure from Babar Azam. The Pakistani batting icon has been in good form with the bat and will hope to continue. Shaheen Afridi knows firsthand how dangerous Babar Azam can be when in full flow.

LAH vs PES – Pitch Report
Win the toss and bowl first and chase the runs on the board will be the mantra for the two captains. Lahore has seen high-scoring contests take place where the dew has played a huge role during the second half of the game. Batting is easier when the ball is new but once the ball gets softer spinners have their say. Fast bowlers will get good swing in the air and off the pitch as well.
