It will be the first game of the season in Rawalpindi, so expect a flat batting track. The pitches last season were absolutely belters, with the average first-innings score of 209. The chasing teams won six of 11 matches in 2023. There won’t be much assistance for the bowlers, so it will be important to take bowlers bowling in death overs. The team winning the toss might elect to field first, with a total of around 200 being a fighting one.
A temperature of around 16°C, with thunderstorms throughout the match hours, is forecast.
Peshawar Zalmi: Saim Ayub, Babar Azam (c), Mohammad Haris, Haseebullah Khan (wk), Paul Walter, Rovman Powell, Asif Ali, Luke Wood, Naveen-ul-Haq, Arif Yaqoob, Salman Irshad.
Lahore Qalandars: Sahibzada Farhan (wk), Fakhar Zaman, Rassie van der Dussen, Kamran Ghulam, Sikandar Raza, Shaheen Afridi (c), George Linde, Carlos Brathwaite, Jahandad Khan, Salman Fayyaz, Zaman Khan.

Babar Azam: Babar Azam is the most popular captaincy option for this game, and rightly so. Azam is a consistent batter and possesses a fine record against Lahore Qalandars. The track will assist the batters, and he is coming on the back of three 50+ scores in the previous five innings. There is no reason not to make him the captain of the fantasy teams.
Rassie van der Dussen: Rassie van der Dussen has shown immense consistency this PSL. While Dussen has struggled vs spin at times, the opponent in this game doesn’t have many quality options. So, he will fancy his chances to score another big knock, and the track will provide value to his shots. Dussen amassed a century in his previous outing against Peshawar Zalmi.
Sikandar Raza: Sikandar Raza hasn’t been as consistent this PSL, but he is a consistent performer. Further, Raza will contribute with both bat and ball, making him a valuable captaincy option. He should perform well in this game.
Mohammad Haris: Mohammad Haris has a selection % of less than 27 currently. Haris’ recent form might be a reason for his low selection, but he is a quality batter. Batting in the top order will provide him ample balls to make an impact, and the track in Rawalpindi will also suit him and his stroke-making. He can fetch match-winning points in this game.
Carlos Brathwaite: Carlos Brathwaite has been selected by 16.81% of users as of now. Brathwaite will contribute with both bat and ball and might bowl all four overs. He has bowled well in patches and can snare a few wickets since batters will go after him. His batting will be effective in Rawalpindi, and Brathwaite can play a quick-fire knock.
George Linde: Generally, George Linde is an accurate bowler, but his bowling might not be effective on a flat Rawalpindi pitch. His batting position has been significantly low, so he might not contribute much as a batter, either. Linde can be avoided for this game.
