Peshawar Zalmi and Islamabad United will face each other in the 5th match of the PSL X, also called PSL 2025, in Rawalpindi tonight. The match will start at 8:30 PM.
Both teams have had contrasting starts to their campaign so far. While Peshawar suffered a huge loss against Quetta Gladiators, Islamabad United beat Lahore Qalandars.
The Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium has one of the best surfaces for bowlers. In T20 cricket, both pacers and spinners have usually dominated the batters over the years. In the first match of the season, 216 was posted, and the chasing side lost by 80 runs. Due to the slow nature of the surface, spinners had a field day.
Head-to-Head Record:
ISL and PES have faced each other 25 times in the PSL history. Neither of them has any upper hand, as both teams have 12 wins and losses each to their name. While one of their games had no result, Islamabad beat Peshawar in their previous encounter.
