PSL 2025 - Can Peshawar Zalmi win the PSL?

Peshawar Zalmi in Pakistan Super League has been the unluckiest in the league. They won the title in the 2nd season of the league in 2017 and have come out as the runner-ups in the three other seasons. Peshawar Zalmi has not won a title since 2017 but they are still one of the strongest teams in the league.

In the previous edition of the league, Peshawar Zalmi finished their league stage at the 2nd spot with 6 wins and 3 losses. Their net run rate stood at +0.147. They reached the playoffs but were unfortunate to get eliminated after a defeat against Islamabad United.

It was a good performance by the batting unit of the team, but their bowling unit felt short and failed to stop the opposition from completing the chase. However, as PSL 2025 is at the horizon, the franchise will be looking forward to a fresh start.

Peshawar Zalmi are under the captaincy of Pakistan’s talented batter and former skipper Babar Azam. He is a platinum player for the team with Tom Kohler-Cadmore and Saim Ayub. Babar Azam and Saim Ayub are expected to be the key players on the team.

The franchise will also have the services of Max Bryant, Najibullah Zadran, Mohammad Haris, and Abdul Samad in their batting unit. In the allrounder segment, Peshawar Zalmi will have the services of Hussain Talat and Maaz Sadaqat. Corbin Bosch has withdrawn from the upcoming season of the league.

When it comes to their bowling division, Peshawar Zalmi will be dependent on Alzaari Joseph, Mohammad Ali, Nahid Rana, and Ahmed Daniyal. During tough situations, these bowlers play a crucial role for the team.

In this article, we bring you an analysis of Peshawar Zalmi squad with their strengths and weaknesses. We have also collected a list of winning odds for Peshawar Zalmi.

Peshawar Zalmi - Strengths

The strengths of Peshawar Zalmi are their batting unit. The talented skipper Babar Azam will be playing an important role for the team. It has been a positive outing for the batter in the recent games in international cricket and in the history of PSL, Babar Azam has been the most ferocious batter. In the previous edition of the league, Babar Azam was the leading run-scorer in the league.

With Babar Azam, Peshawar Zalmi will also be dependent on Saim Ayub and Tom Kohler-Cadmore. Saim Ayub was the fifth highest run-scorer in the league last year and Tom will be looking forward to a better performance than PSL 2024.

Peshawar Zalmi also have Max Bryant in the squad. He is a known face in the world of T20 cricket and his presence will give the team an extra depth. With Bryant, Afghanistan’s Najibullah Zadran is also making his debut in PSL with Peshawar Zalmi.

These 5 players will be the key to success for Peshawar Zalmi in their batting unit. They are also expected to be part fo the betting tips in every match prediction of Peshawar Zalmi.

Peshawar Zalmi - Weakness

During the drafts of the Pakistan Super League, the team management completely missed out on solving their bowling issues. They still have the void and that is a big weakness for Peshawar Zalmi.

PSL 2025 might see a good batting lineup for Peshawar but they still lack experienced and effective bowlers. Alzarri Joseph has joined the team this year and he will be expected to scalp crucial wickets for the team. However, except him, no other bowler can be trusted to carry the pressure. If Alzarri Joseph also fails, it will be a nightmare for Peshawar Zalmi.
