Team Previews
Quetta Gladiators Preview:
Quetta Gladiators have had a rollercoaster journey so far in PSL 2025. After a strong opening win against Peshawar Zalmi, they stumbled with two consecutive losses but managed to bounce back against Karachi Kings. Saud Shakeel’s leadership and batting have been instrumental, while the bowling attack led by Abrar Ahmed and Mohammad Amir has shown great promise. In their opening clash against PSZ, QTG posted a massive 216 and bundled out their opponents for 136, indicating their potential dominance in today’s QTG vs PSZ match. However, their batting consistency remains a concern, with multiple collapses witnessed in recent matches. If their top order, comprising Shakeel, Rilee Rossouw, and Kusal Mendis, fires, Quetta Gladiators can surely dominate again.
Peshawar Zalmi Preview:
Peshawar Zalmi have had an inconsistent PSL 2025 campaign. Despite a massive win against Multan Sultans, PSZ have struggled for consistency. Babar Azam continues to lead from the front, but concerns around the middle order and death bowling remain. They suffered a heavy defeat against Quetta Gladiators earlier and would look to take revenge in this crucial QTG vs PSZ contest. Luke Wood and Ali Raza have been their standout bowlers, but support from the rest is required. If Zalmi can tighten their bowling and accelerate better in the middle overs, they can pose a strong challenge today. However, they will have to overcome their poor head-to-head record recently against the Gladiators.
