Peshawar Zalmi favourite against Islamabad United

Islamabad: Peshawar Zalmi favourite against Islamabad United. The local team Islamabad United will meet Peshawar Zalmi in a match of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) season 9 here on Monday evening.

Peshawar is ahead of Islamabad on points table after playing six matches each and is tipped as favourite tonight.

After their last match was abandoned due to rain, Islamabad will be keen to return to the ground and win the match although statistics do not favour them against Peshawar.

Islamabad United’s in-form trio Colin Munro, Alex Hales and Agha Salman are capable to turn the tables. Salman has scored two unbeaten fifties while Munro hit 71 and 82 in last two matches.

Peshawar Zalmi, on the other hand, have been invincible in their last three outings and would strive to continue winning streak. At present, they are at third place on the table seven points, two ahead of Islamabad.

Their skipper Babar Azam, Saim Ayub and Rovman Powell will be their key batsmen. Babar and Saim are in excellent form while West Indian Powell has the capability to destroy any bowling attack.

So far as the conditions are concerned, the pitch might have been damp and may cause problems for the team batting first. Moreover, it could help fast bowlers initially and become easy after a couple of hours’ play.
