The Peshawar Zalmi have won 9 of the 11 games they have played this season. Their batters have destroyed bowling attacks, and the bowling attack has also troubled the opponents. They defeated Kingsmen in the league stage and look to repeat that success. Hyderabad Kingsmen have peaked at the right time, but it remains to be seen if they can overcome the challenge that Peshawar Zalmi throw at them in this game.

Babar Azam will be proud of his team's performance this season. They have dominated their opponents from the start of the tournament and defeated Islamabad United by 70 runs in the Qualifier. They had defeated Hyderabad Kingsmen earlier in the season, and Azam expects his players to take inspiration from that win and deliver another strong performance in this contest.
Babar Azam has led from the front this season and scored a brilliant hundred in the last game. He must deliver a good start with Mohammad Haris. Kusal Mendis is the key player in the middle order and must build partnerships with Michael Bracewell and Abdul Samad. The team expects a good show from Iftikhar Ahmed and Farhan Yousaf in the lower-middle order.
The team expects early wickets from Iftikhar Ahmed and Khurram Shahzad as the Kingsmen have a formidable top order. Sufiyan Muqeem is the team's leading wicket-taker this season and shall look to do well in the middle overs with Mohammad Basit. Michael Bracewell and Aaron Hardie have leaked runs, and the team expects better performances from them in this game.

Marnus Labuschagne snatched a narrow win over Islamabad United to reach the final in their debut season. In a nail-biting contest, the team held onto its nerves and won by 2 runs. They face a tough test in this game after losing to Peshawar Zalmi in the league stage. Labuschagne must lead from the front and get the best out of his bowling attack to win this game.
Marnus Labuschagne must use his experience and do well at the start with Maaz Sadaqat. Usman Khan top-scored with 61 runs in the last game and must build partnerships in the middle order with Saim Ayub and Glenn Maxwell. The team expects a strong show from Kusal Perera and Hassan Khan in the lower middle order.
The bowling attack is up for a big test. Mohammad Ali and Akif Javed leaked runs in the last game, and the team expects a strong show from them with the new ball. Hunain Shah has troubled the batters, and the team needs him to deliver tight spells in the middle overs with Saim Ayub. They lack depth in the attack and need Hassan Khan to execute his plans well.

Average Turn
Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore, has a flat surface and a quick outfield, making it easy for batsmen to score runs. Bowlers, especially the fast bowlers, have always found it challenging to bowl here. It is a good venue for the spinners, as the ball turns sharply and stops on the batsmen. The average first-innings score this season has been 185, and the team batting first would be happy to have 200 on the board.
The side chasing the score has won the last four out of five games. The wicket gets easier to bat on in the second half, and we have seen some assistance for the bowlers in the first innings. Hence, the team winning the toss won't hesitate to bowl first.
Hyderabad Kingsmen have won crucial games to reach the final, but the team hasn't been consistent this season. They have struggled with the bat at times and need a clinical performance from the top and the middle order to win this game. Peshawar Zalmi have ticked all the boxes this season. They have a formidable batting lineup and a bowling attack that has troubled opponents. Based on the current form, Peshawar Zalmi have an edge in this game.
