Last season saw these two teams finish in the top four and qualify for the playoffs but fail to progress further. In fact, the last time Peshawar won the PSL title was in 2017, and Quetta won it in 2019. Will this year be the one to break that drought? I am backing Peshawar to start with a bang.

Peshawar won 8 of their last 10 matches against Quetta.
Peshawar have won 7 of their last 10 completed matches at this venue.
Quetta lost their 3 recent completed matches at this venue.

Head to Head

Overall record between these teams gives nothing away, as the 24 PSL matches saw Peshawar win 13 and Quetta win 10, while one ended without any result.

It is the Zalmi who have had an edge recently, though, winning eight of their ten recent matches against the Gladiators. Last season, Peshawar won by 76 runs at this venue, while Quetta won by 16 runs in Lahore.

The 2017 champions have made it to the playoffs in every year of this tournament. That said, the fact that every other team won the PSL title since the Zalmi's last one says a lot about their struggle to win the honours.

The team was in the news for the wrong reasons as all-rounder Corbin Bosch chose to sign for the Indian Premier League. That has left the Zalmi with a headache as they look at Hussain Talat as an all-rounder option.

The return of Saim Ayub and the consistency of Babar Azam are huge positives for the team. With the ball, Sufiyaan Muqeem is an exciting addition, but Mohammad Ali remains their only known fast bowler.

Mitchell Owen, George Linde, Luke Wood, and Alzarri Joseph could be looking to get the nod among the foreigners quota.

Quetta Gladiators Form

Quetta Gladiators broke a four-season drought of failing to qualify for the playoffs by finishing fourth last year. However, they lost in the first hurdle at eliminator 1 to Islamabad United.

All eyes will be on the PSL veteran Shoaib Malik, with the 43-year-old still going strong. Finn Allen comes here with a point to prove after failing to attract any IPL offers.

Sarfaraz Ahmed, one of the oldest servants of this side, is out. So is Sherfane Rutherford, although the West Indian southpaw is playing in the IPL right now.

Allen, Mark Chapman, Rilee Rossouw, and Akeal Hossain could be their foreign picks.
