The pitches in Rawalpindi last year were flat, with an average first-innings score of 209 in 11 games. Expect a nice batting track, with batters getting value for their shots. The team winning the toss might elect to field first since chasing proved slightly easier last year. A total of around 200 is a must to compete.
A temperature of around 11°C, with partly cloudy, is forecast.
Islamabad United: Colin Munro, Alex Hales, Agha Salman, Imad Wasim, Shadab Khan (c), Azam Khan (wk), Jordan Cox, Faheem Ashraf, Naseem Shah, Hunain Shah, Rumman Raees.
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.

Agha Salman: Agha Salman is a popular captaincy pick for obvious reasons. Salman will contribute with both bat and ball, and his batting form has been top-notch this PSL. He will bat at No.3 and can again weave a big knock on a flat surface. His bowling will also fetch a few points.
Shadab Khan: Shadab Khan is the most popular captaincy option for this game. Shadab will contribute with both bat and ball, and his recent form has been decent. Further, he has a fine record at Rawalpindi. Shadab has been bowling well this season and will look to extend his good run.
Babar Azam: Babar Azam is another popular captaincy option for this game, and rightly so. Azam is a consistent batter and possesses a fine record against Islamabad United. 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.
Faheem Ashraf: Surprisingly, Faheem Ashraf’s selection % currently stands at 2.65. Faheem will contribute with both bat and ball, and he did well at Rawalpindi in the previous editions. His batting value will increase, and he can snare a few wickets as well since batters will go after him.
Mohammad Haris: Mohammad Haris has a selection % of less than 25 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. Haris has also done well against Islamabad United in the past.
Jordan Cox: Jordan Cox was slotted to bat quite low in the previous game. If Islamabad United continue batting him in the lower order, Cox’s value will reduce in fantasy teams, given he doesn’t bowl, either. Since Azam Khan keeps wickets, he can’t contribute with gloves, either. He can be avoided for this game.
If ISL bat first:
Complete the team with three among Colin Munro, Alex Hales, Haseebullah Khan, Tymal Mills, Luke Wood, and Hunain Shah.
If PES bat first:
Complete the team with three among Saim Ayub, Azam Khan, Imad Wasim, Rovman Powell, Arif Yaqoob, and Rumman Raees.
If ISL bat first:
Complete the team with three among Alex Hales, Haseebullah Khan, Naveen-ul-Haq, Tymal Mills, and Hunain Shah.
If PES bat first:
Complete the team with three among Mohammad Haris, Azam Khan, Faheem Ashraf, Arif Yaqoob, and Salman Irshad.
It is a mid-table clash, and both teams have quality players. While Peshawar Zalmi have consistent players, Islamabad United possess match-winners. Both teams are evenly matched, and the team that bats better will win. Peshawar Zalmi’s batting largely depends on their opening pair. Islamabad United have more in-form players and might prevail in the end.
