PSZ vs ISU Live Prediction

2026-04-28 21:44:29

Islamabad United to score over 73.5 in 6 Overs @ 1.90 (Stake.ac)

Islamabad United score at the end of 3 overs is 40/0. They are off to a flying start chasing down 222 runs. Both the openers are in good touch and this looks a flat batting track at the moment with the ball coming onto the bat nicely. We predict Islamabad to score 30 runs in the next three overs and their score to be over 73 runs in 6 overs.

2026-04-28 20:30:36

Peshawar Zalmi Score Over 212.5 in 20 Overs @ 1.85 (Stake.ac)

Zalmi are 128/1 after 13 overs, scoring at 9.85 an over. Babar Azam is anchoring the innings beautifully on 60 off 43 balls while Kusal Mendis is looking dangerous on 31 off 19 balls. The pair have added 56 together off 40 balls and the last 5 overs produced 37 runs without loss. With 7 overs remaining and two set batters at the crease, we are backing Peshawar Zalmi to go past 212.5 in 20 overs.

2026-04-28 19:44:48

Peshawar Zalmi Score Over 63.5 in 6 Overs @ 1.80 (Stake.ac)

Peshawar Zalmi are off to a flying start scoring 33 runs in the first 3 overs, they are currently going at 11 runs per over. With Babar Azam and Mohammad Haris going great guns and the conditions also favouring the batters, we back Peshawar Zalmi to score over 63 runs in 6 overs.

Peshawar Zalmi will face Islamabad United in the Qualifier 1 game of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2026 at the National Cricket Stadium in Karachi on Tuesday. 

After finishing the league stage of the competition on the top of the table, Peshawar Zalmi will enter Tuesday’s contest with high confidence. 

The management will be extremely pleased with the overall performance of the players as Peshawar Zalmi was able to create a new record of winning nine out of the 10 matches in the league phase. 

On the other hand, Islamabad United register a comfortable win over Multan Sultans. With this result, United finished second in the group stages of the competition and will now be looking to seal their place in the finals of the competition.

Both teams have competed 27 times in the history of the competition where Peshawar Zalmi and Islamabad United have won 13 games each.

The average first innings score at National Stadium in the ongoing Pakistan Super League in the previous twenty-one completed matches is around 179 runs.

Toss: To Bowl

National Cricket Stadium, Karachi has been decent venue for side batting second. Thirteen matches out of twenty-one played at the venue have been won by chasing teams.

Both the sides will be coming in the fixture feeling confident about themselves and a feisty contest is expected amongst two heavyweights. 

On paper, there is a very slight difference between both teams but as per the current form, Peshawar Zalmi look unstoppable at the moment and with Islamabad United so much on Sameer Minhas ’s batting, that looks unlike to change. 

Therefore, the prediction is for the Peshawar Zalmi to book their place in the final after a win in a closely fought contest.
