KARACHI: Peshawar Zalmi opted to bowl first against Lahore Qalandars after winning the toss in match number nine of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2022 at the National Stadium Karachi on Wednesday.
Both sides have won one match each after playing two games each.
Zalmi are expected to get a boost in their batting as their hard-hitting batsman Hazratullah Zazai has recovered from COVID-19 and may feature in today’s game.
Zalmi started the season in an impressive way when they whacked Quetta Gladiators by five wickets in their opener. Zalmi chased the 191-run target after losing five wickets with Shoaib Malik scoring an unbeaten 48.

However, in the second show, Zalmi were demolished by Islamabad United. Zalmi rode on the batting heroics of Sherfane Rutherford (70*) to post 168-6. But United chased the target after losing just one wicket.
After being defeated by Multan Sultans in their first game, Qalandars made a smart fightback when they downed Karachi Kings by six wickets. So far, Lahore has mostly depended on Fakhar Zaman in their batting as the left-handed opener is in sublime touch and has already played two major innings.
