Peshawar Zalmi couldn’t make it to the PSL 2024 final through the Qualifier, and now they have one more chance to secure a berth in the title match. Babar Azam’s side will face Islamabad United in Eliminator 2. The winner of this match will face Multan Sultans in the Final on March 18. National Stadium Karachi will host the PES vs ISL, Eliminator match.
Babar Azam has had an outstanding season so far. He has scored 544 runs in 10 matches. He is set to end the PSL 2024 season with the most runs to his name. However, it would be a big upset for him if he fails to make it to the finals. For that to happen, his team must beat Shadab Khan-led Islamabad United tonight. This season, the two teams have played against each other twice during the league stage, with each managing to win one game.
Both teams are eyeing the long-awaited trophy. Zalmi have played in 4 PSL finals, managing to win the title in 2017. Meanwhile, United have played in two PSL finals to date, winning both of them (in 2016 and 2018).
PES vs ISL Pitch Report
The PES vs ISL match will be played at the Karachi pitch, which has demonstrated a balanced nature throughout the PSL 2024 season. With the new ball, batters may find it easier to score, but as the match progresses, the pitch tends to slow down, making it favorable for slow bowlers to be effective. Winning the toss and choosing to bat first might be the decision the toss winner in the Peshawar Zalmi vs Islamabad United match may opt for.
