PAKISTAN SUPER LEAGUE SEASON 6
VENUE & TIME: Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi at 5 pm Local Time (6:30 pm IST)
PREVIEW:
United have turned on the switch and look unstoppable as they sit at the top of the table with 12 points. In their last three matches, they've won comfortably and looked at ease throughout the game, and have already confirmed their playoffs spot.
Zalmi who sits with 10 points at second on the log will be playing their final match in the league phase and a win will be sufficient for them to qualify for the playoffs. They've been hot and cold with two comfortable wins in their last three matches and looked out of sorts in the loss which came against Sultans.
PROBABLE XI:
Islamabad United: Colin Munro, Muhammad Akhlaq (WK), Iftikhar Ahmed, Shadab Khan(C), Hussain Talat, Asif Ali, Hasan Ali, Ali Khan, Mohammad Wasim, Akif Javed
Peshawar Zalmi: Hazratullah Zazai, Kamran Akmal (wk), Haider Ali, Shoaib Malik, Rovman Powell, Sherfane Rutherford, Abrar Ahmed, Wahab Riaz(C), Umaid Asif, Mohammad Irfan, Sameen Gul

If Peshawar score somewhere between 140 to 160 after batting first then we expect Islamabad to chase it down while if Islamabad bat first and scores 170 to 190 then we expect them to defend it. We expect Islamabad United to register a victory against Peshawar Zalmi in this fixture.
Pitch Report:
The pitches at Sheikh Zayed have been fair to some extent to both the batsmen and the bowlers one could say. There's been enough in it for the spinners as well as the pacers and the batters find playing their strokes easy.
