As the campaigning intensify at the Pakistan Super League (PSL), Peshawar Zalmi and Islamabad United prepare to face off in the must-win Eliminator 2 on Saturday at National Stadium in Karachi. With the stakes at an all-time high, both teams understand the cruciality of the contest as it will lead them to the final of the PSL 2024. A victory for either team will help them secure a spot in the prestigious final.

For Peshawar Zalmi, the road to the eliminator has been a rollercoaster ride marked by moments of brilliance and setbacks. Led by Babar Azam, Peshwar Zalmi suffered their defeat against Multan Sultans in the qualifier that hindered their passage to the final, but standing another chance in this game, Peshawar Zalmi will look to bounce back strongly to secure their place in final. 

On the other hand, Islamabad United, under the leadership of Shadab Khan, emerged victorious against Quetta Gladiators in the eliminator 1 on Friday. Heading into this game, they would hope to capitalise on the momentum from their last game. Standout players like Martin Guptill, Agha Salman and Alex Hales will be expected to carry on with their momentum. As they prepare to take on Peshawar Zalmi, they will be banking on their depth in both batting and bowling departments to secure a crucial victory.

Islamabad United Probable XI: Alex Hales, Martin Guptill, Agha Salman, Shadab Khan (c), Azam Khan (wk), Haider Ali, Imad Wasim, Faheem Ashraf, Naseem Shah, Hunain Shah, Obed McCoy

Peshawar Zalmi Probable XI: Saim Ayub, Babar Azam (c), Mohammad Haris (wk), Haseebullah Khan, Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Rovman Powell, Paul Walter, Aamer Jamal, Luke Wood, Mehran Mumtaz, Salman Irshad
