For Lahore Qalandars, this match is not just about breaking their losing streak; it's about securing a victory to restore their confidence. With seasoned players like Shaheen Afridi, Fakhar Zaman, and Rassie van der Dussen in their ranks, they have the firepower to turn their fortunes around. They will head into this match on the back of their 60-run defeat in their last game against Multan Sultans.

Peshawar Zalmi, on the other hand, will be keen on maintaining their momentum and solidifying their position in the tournament. They are on the third place in the points table with six points and the negative NRR of -0.285. 

Head-to-head

There have been eight clashes between both teams, wherein Peshawar Zalmi carry the bigger momentum with their (10) victories against Lahore Qalandars’ (8).
