Can Zalmi maintain their unbeaten streak against Gladiators?
Peshawar Zalmi are absolutely flying in PSL 2026, strutting into this clash against Quetta Gladiators with six wins from seven matches. Led by the maestro Babar Azam, they crushed Quetta by eight wickets in their last encounter. Now, with the stakes high and a perfect record on the line, can they keep the momentum going?
Quetta, sitting at fourth on the table, have had a mixed bag with three wins in seven games. They recently thumped Lahore Qalandars, but will need to find another gear to topple the mighty Zalmi. With Saud Shakeel at the helm, the Gladiators will be gunning for an upset in Karachi.
The pitch at National Stadium has favoured chasing sides, with teams often winning after opting to bowl first. Expect both sides to strategise around the powerplay – every run counts as the innings winds down. Babar Azam is the man to watch, having scored 301 runs already this season, while Sufiyan Muqeem, the leading wicket-taker, is ready to spin a web in the middle overs.
In this high-octane match, Zalmi are tipped to come out on top. Can Quetta pull off a shocker?
