PSL 2023: Eliminator 2, LAH vs PES Match Prediction – Who will win today’s PSL match between LAH vs PES?

After a humiliating 84-run run defeat in the first qualifier against Multan Sultans, Lahore Qalandars (LAH) will take on Peshawar Zalmi (PES) in the ongoing PSL 2023. Notably, the Babar Azam-led side was sensational against Islamabad United and managed to win the Eliminator by 12 runs and will now hope to register one more win and qualify for the finals of the competition.

Meanwhile, in the match against Islamabad, Babar Azam led by example, scoring 64 off 39 deliveries. Courtesy of his brilliant knock, Peshawar posted 183 on board after 20 overs. Even though it was enough for them to get the win, their middle order looked pretty pale and that’s a reason to worry about at the moment. On the other hand, their bowlers looked in good form as Aamer Jamal and Salman Irshad picked up two each.

Coming to Qalandars, their batting is a massive reason to worry about. Opener Fakhar Zaman needs to take a lot of responsibility as they lack batters who can change the match in a couple of overs. Their bowling however is sorted with Shaheen Shah Afridi leading the attack. It is only their batting that the team needs to work on ahead of the big game.
