Lahore Qalandars (LQ) and Peshawar Zalmi (PZ) will square off in the upcoming PSL 2023 after Lahore Qalandars suffered a devastating 84-run defeat to Multan Sultans in the first qualifier. Incidentally, the Babar Azam-led team dominated Islamabad United and won the Eliminator by 12 runs. They now seek to secure one more victory and go to the competition’s finals.
Babar Azam, who led by example in the encounter against Islamabad by batting 64 off 39 deliveries, did the opposite. Because of his outstanding innings, Peshawar reached 183 after 20 overs. Even while it was sufficient for them to win, their middle order was somewhat pale, which is something to be concerned about right now. Nonetheless, their bowlers appeared to be in terrific form as Aamer Jamal and Salman Irshad both collected two wickets.
When it comes to Qalandars, their batting is a major cause for concern. As they don’t have any hitters who can turn the tide of a game in a few overs, the opener Fakhar Zaman must shoulder a lot of the burden. Shaheen Shah Afridi, who is in charge of the attack, has their bowling under control. Prior to the big game, the squad simply has to practice their hitting.

Babar Azam:
Babar Azam, the captain of Zalmi, has been in outstanding form the whole competition. With 480 runs from 10 games thus far, the opener is also the second-highest run-scorer in the competition. He is playing an aggressive style of cricket, which has so far benefited his squad.
