Peshawar Zalmi Preview
Peshawar Zalmi have been one of the most impressive teams in the early stages of PSL 2026. From 5 matches, they have secured 4 wins and 1 no-result, collecting 9 points and boasting an excellent net run rate of +2.877, placing them firmly in the top three.
Their recent form has been outstanding. They chased down 214 against Rawalpindi by 5 wickets, comfortably chased 145 against Hyderabad Kingsmen by 4 wickets, posted a massive 246/3 while thrashing Karachi Kings by 159 runs, and most recently defeated Lahore Qalandars by 76 runs. The only blemish was an abandoned match against Islamabad United.
Peshawar’s batting firepower has been the highlight. Sri Lankan batter Kusal Mendis leads the run charts for the team with 241 runs in 4 innings. He has upped the ante in recent games, scoring a century in the previous match against Karachi and contributed with 74 runs in their victory over Lahore Qalandars. He maintains an average of 60.25 and strike rate of 172.14.
Captain Babar Azam has received a lot of criticism for his struggle in the shortest format recently, but he seems to be finding his mojo again. After a scintillating 87 runs off 57 balls innings, he scored 43 runs in the last game, taking his total score to 212 runs in 4 innings at an average of 70.67 and a decent strike rate of 135.90.
There is little bit of a struggle outside the two batters as no other batters have managed to touch the 100 runs mark. Michael Bracewell is the 3rd top scorer with 87 runs while Abdul Samad (76 runs), and Mohammad Haris (76 runs) provide strong middle-order batting. Samad in particular boasts a strike rate of 271.43.
The bowling unit has been equally effective. Sufiyan Muqeem is having a fantastic season and is the leading wicket-taker for the team with 10 wickets in 4 matches. The most outstanding bit, in the last three games, he has bagged 3 or more wickets per inning with best figures of 4/32.
Iftikhar Ahmed has taken 7 wickets in 3 innings, while Nahid Rana with his menacing pace bowling bagged 5 wickets. Michael Bracewell, Aamir Jamal, and Ali Raza provide good variety in the bowling options for captain Azam and an incredible depth.
