Match Prediction Best Odds
Islamabad United vs Peshawar Zalmi Toss Prediction
Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore has been excellent or worse for the Islamabad United, who chased 200 in no time one day and fell through succumbing to 138 against the Quetta Gladiators on another day. Peshawar Zalmi, with just one win and two drubbings in three matches here, has had it slightly worse. Chasing teams have lost two out of seven fixtures at Lahore, but one of the matches featuring Zalmi could have gone either way. There’s no doubt that the team winning the toss will consider putting the opposition into bat.
