PSL 2024: Final on the line as Peshawar Zalmi go against Islamabad United

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.

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
