Peshawar Zalmi vs Islamabad United Tips

Top Peshawar Zalmi Batter: Babar Azam

  • Best Odds: 5.25 @ Indibet

Peshawar Zalmi have access to one of the best batters in international cricket at the moment, Babar Azam. Their captain has wonderful records to his name in international cricket in the limited-overs format. He has donned the Pakistan jersey for 95 One Day Internationals and 99 T20 Internationals collecting 4813 and 3355 runs respectively at an average of 59.42 and 41.42. So far in the Pakistan Super League, Azam has failed to live up to the expectations as he has scored only 96 runs in three league games at an average of 32.00. He was terrific in the first game with a knock of 68 runs. His batting exploits helped Zalmi in scoring a two-run victory over Karachi Kings. However, in the other two games, Babar flattened with scores of nine and 19 runs respectively. Despite the poor form, we are backing the batter to gain his form and cause a turnaround to help his team record their second consecutive victory.

Top Islamabad United Batter: Rassie van der Dussen

  • Best Odds: 3.67 @ 10Cric

Islamabad United had a forgettable outing against Multan Sultans in their last league match. While chasing a big score of 191 runs, the team fell flat at 138 runs. However, Rassie van der Dussen was the only positive for the team with the bat. He topped the run-scoring charts for the team with a knock of 49 runs. The top-order batter faced a total of 32 balls in the middle and ended up hitting five fours and a single maximum. Dussen did well in the first game as well as Islamabad United defeated Karachi Kings. The South African star added 31 runs to the scoreboard in 25 balls to help his team chase 174 runs within 18.2 overs. Thus, the chances of Rassie van der Dussen scoring runs for the United on Thursday are high.

Top wicket-taker of the match: Tom Curran

  • Best Odds: 5.0 @ 22Bet

Tom Curran was the pick of the bowler for Islamabad United in their first game against Karachi Kings. He dismissed two batters namely Sharjeel Khan and Irfan Khan while bowling at an economy rate of 10.5. In the second game, Curran picked only one wicket while giving 32 runs in his four overs. Thus, we are backing the seam all-rounder to be the top wicket-taker for his team on Thursday as well.
