Islamabad United vs Peshawar Zalmi Preview

Islamabad United began their season with a clinical display of bowling to help register their first win of the season by beating Lahore Qalandars. It was a win led by Jason Holder, who returned figures of 4 for 26 while Shadab Khan had 3 for 25.

Peshawar Zalmi, however, were badly beaten by Quetta Gladiators in their opener. Peshawar conceded 216 for 3 but could only manage 136 in the chase as they were beaten by a massive 80 runs.

Islamabad United Form


There aren’t any concerns yet about Islamabad’s form, particularly after a solid start to the season. Colin Munro started the season with 59 of 42 balls while Saman Agha added 41 off 34 balls to close out the chase.

With the ball, all bowlers picked up at least one wicket each, including Naseem Shah, Riley Meredith and Imad Wasim to go with Holder’s four and Shadab’s three.

Islamabad United Team News


Islamabad’s middle order was not needed that much but Azam Khan, Shadab and Holder may have to put in a stint with the bat at some point in this tournament.

Peshawar Zalmi Form


Peshawar have some big early headaches. The balance of their team looks poor with Max Bryant batting at No. 6 and Mitchell Owen at No. 7. Both of those batters usually open the batting in the Big Bash League.

Babar Azam’s poor form continued with a two-ball duck. There were five ducks in their innings, including three golden ducks.

Peshawar Zalmi Team News


It’s a bit early to make changes but Peshawar need to address the imbalance in their batting order.

Verdict

Islamabad have a terrific spin-bowling lineup, which includes Imad Wasim and Shadab. Naseem Shah, Riley Meredith and Holder comprise a reliable fast bowling attack. Peshawar, on the other hand, have a lot of work to do to change their fortunes quickly.
