PSZ vs ISU 12th Match: PSL match prediction

PSZ vs ISU

PSZ vs ISU: In their first meeting of the season, Peshawar Zalmi and Islamabad United will square off in Karachi. In a game against the Multan Sultans, both teams lost. Also, neither of these teams has ever dropped a game in Karachi.

In their opening match against Karachi Kings, Islamabad United pursued a 174-run goal. In contrast, Peshawar Zalmi chased down 156 in their previous match at this location. Anything less than 180 would fall short of a match-winning total in this particular arena. The match-winning talents of James Neesham, Rovman Powell, and Dasun Shanaka will make them important players for Peshawar. A run-chase will require players like Colin Munro and Azam Khan, who helped Islamabad earn their first victory of the year.

Apart for the Kings, teams have had a difficult time finding their bowling rhythm since bowling here is not simple. Neesham and Usman Qadir of Zalmi were impressive in their most recent performances here.

PSZ vs ISU: Match Overview

Peshawar Zalmi

Peshawar Zalmi are ranked second in the points standings with two victories from three games. They rapidly recovered from a defeat against the Multan Sultans by 54 runs. In that run-chase in Multan, Mohammad Haris, Saim Ayub, and Rovman Powell all appeared to be in good shape.

Unfortunately, Peshawar lost that game due to their inability to capitalize on promising starts and lack of partnerships. In Peshawar’s most recent run chase against Quetta, the top-order crumbled, leaving them 4 down for 67 runs in the 8th Over. A 155 may seem like a poor target in Karachi, but removing the top order immediately might slow things down.  

Peshawar was able to secure a 4-wicket victory because to a strong batting lineup that included Powell, Neesham, and Shanka at positions 5, 6, and 7, respectively.

James Neesham is in fantastic shape and has recently produced consistently for numerous franchises around the world. Arshad Iqbal, Neesham, and Wahab Riaz will assist Wahab Riaz as Peshawar Zalmi’s bowling attack is led by Wahab Riaz.

Usman Qadir, a right-arm leg-breaker, is a vital component of the PSZ bowling assault to keep an eye on. With the difficult conditions at this location, a few bowlers will undoubtedly be pricey. As a result, it would be up to the power hitters at the top and middle, like Tom Kohler-Cadmore, to unleash their full arsenal.

Islamabad United

This is a great chance for the United to rapidly recover and resume its winning ways. Even if the opposition is a tough opponent to beat, their batters will undoubtedly relish returning to Karachi and scoring some runs.

In their most recent game against Multan, the United were bowled out for just 138 runs while chasing a 191-run mark. At number three, Rassie van der Dussen led the team in scoring with 49 points from 32 balls.

The batters in Islamabad’s lower middle order are capable of providing a strong finish at the end of the innings. This batting order has depth because of Shadab Khan, Azam Khan, and Faheem Ashraf are at positions 5, 6, and 7.

Following at number 8, bowling all-rounder Tom Curran ensures that Islamabad stays in the game after losing numerous wickets.

Yet in their final game, only Dussen and Munro seemed to get going, and after their loss, the rest of the lineup simply huddled up. This lineup features several strong hitters, including Paul Stirling at the top. This batting lineup’s return to Karachi may be precisely what it need to regain its form.

The two most important pace bowlers will be Rumman Raees and Mohammad Wasim Jr. This lineup offers a wide variety of spin options. Abrar Ahmed, Shadab Khan, and Faheem Ashraf are all capable of making significant strides.
