Team Previews

Islamabad United Preview (ISU)

Islamabad United, despite their recent heavy loss, remain one of the strongest sides in PSL 2025. The top-order has been productive with Andries Gous continuing his consistent form. His 41 in the last game underlined his reliability, even though the middle-order failed to deliver. Salman Agha has shown glimpses of form, while Azam Khan’s big-hitting remains vital in the lower middle order.

The key strength for ISU lies in their bowling attack. Naseem Shah, although wicketless last game, remains a threat with his pace and swing. Imad Wasim and Shadab Khan offer control and breakthroughs in the middle overs. Jason Holder’s all-round experience will be key in powerplays and death overs. Shadab, being the captain, will aim for a comeback through strategic changes and aggressive leadership. If ISU can avoid a batting collapse and hold their nerve with the ball, they can dominate this fixture.

Peshawar Zalmi Preview (PSZ)

Peshawar Zalmi are struggling with inconsistency, particularly in the top order. Babar Azam’s anchoring approach has not converted into match-winning innings of late. Kohler-Cadmore and Saim Ayub need to rediscover their form quickly. The middle-order has shown some signs of life with Hussain Talat playing responsibly and Mitchell Owen adding value with both bat and ball.

Zalmi’s bowling is their biggest strength. Alzarri Joseph and Luke Wood are capable of turning games with pace and bounce. Spinner Aarif Yaqoob could be a surprise element if selected. Zalmi’s hope lies in their bowling unit defending a decent score, but their batters need to fire first. If Babar and Haris can give them a solid start, they could challenge ISU.

ISU vs PSZ – Probable Playing XI

Islamabad United: Sahibzada Farhan, Andries Gous, Salman Agha, Azam Khan (wk), Haider Ali, Shadab Khan (c), Jason Holder, Imad Wasim, Ben Dwarshuis, Naseem Shah, Hunain Shah
