Pre-Match Analysis:

Islamabad United could have done better with the bat against Peshawar Zalmi which cost them their spot in the Qualifier and they have to settle for the 3rd spot in the standings after encountering 13 run loss. Azam Khan’s injury was a big blow for them as they experimented a lot with their batting order. Faheem Ashraf as a batter is doing everything for the side playing at different positions and his knock of 38 from 13 balls went in vain. Hasan Ali has been phenomenal with the ball and has bagged 12 wickets so far. A lot has been expected from overseas stars Alex Hales and Colin Munro.

Despite the absence of their regular skipper Babar Azam, Peshawar Zalmi triumphed by 13 runs against Islamabad United on Sunday. Mohammad Haris and the bowlers starred which eventually handed them a convincing win. Overseas players James Neesham and Bhanuka Rajapaksa found their touch and made key contributions to the win. Upcoming stars Saim Ayub and Mohammad Haris have been remarkable in this competition playing decisive knocks. The result of this match will entirely depend on how well their bowlers going to perform.
