Peshawar Zalmi will battle it out against the Quetta Gladiators in the 22nd match of PSL 2022 at the Gadaffi Stadium in Lahore. Both teams are lagging at the bottom of the points table with a lot more work to be done and this game is going to be crucial in terms of making it to the playoffs. The Quetta Gladiators are coming off a convincing loss to the Lahore Qalandars in their previous games and have now won three of their seven games.

Meanwhile, the Peshawar Zalmi had a brilliant outing in their previous game against the Karachi Kings and are coming off a huge win with a lot of confidence. The Wahab Riaz-led side made some changes at the top of the order including the decision to drop the veteran Kamran Akmal and it immediately paid off with Mohammad Haris playing a stupendous knock.
