QUETTA GLADIATORS
- Quetta Gladiators were by far the lowest performing team in the 2021 PSL, winning just two matches across the entire competition and the pressure is on them to make a significant improvement in this campaign.
- All-rounder Shahid Afridi joined Quetta as part of a trade deal and his experience to add to that of bowler Sohail Tanvir and wicket-keeper Sarfaraz Ahmed will be important, as will the runs of Ben Duckett, whilst Somerset batter Will Smeed is expected to be given a chance to impress at the top of the order.
PESHAWAR ZALMI
- Last year’s beaten finalists, Peshawar Zalmi under the command of new head coach James Foster, will have one simple goal in this year’s PSL, win the tournament for the second time in their history.
- Positive Covid-19 tests for both captain Wahab Riaz and batter Haider Ali is expected to rule them out of this encounter, whilst veteran Kamran Akmal has also tested positive alongside Arshad Iqbal.
