Peshawar Zalmi Preview
Peshawar Zalmi is set to face Quetta Gladiators in their opening game of Pakistan Super League 2025 on April 12 at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. Peshawar Zalmi, who made it to the playoffs the last time owing to the second-place finish in the league stage, will consider this a good opportunity to first win of the season and set the tone for the season ahead.
In the head-to-head encounters, Peshawar Zalmi trumps Quetta Gladiators by a margin of 3-2 in the last five games. The previous game between these two teams ended up in a win for Peshawar Zalmi. It was a league game in the previous season where Peshawar Zalmi batted first to score an above-par total of 196 for 8. Babar Azam, the captain, top-scored with an innings of 53 of just 30 balls. In defense, four bowlers from Peshawar Zalmi took two wickets each to derail Quetta Gladiators for just 120 runs in the 18th over.
Peshawar Zalmi have assembled a good squad that has a blend of experience and promising local talent. The batting will be spearheaded by none other than Captain Babar Azam who along with Sayyam Ayub, Abdul Samad, and Najibullah Zadran will form the bulk of Peshawar Zalmi's batting unit. The bowling attack consists of paces from Alzari Joseph, Luke Wood, and Mohammad Ali, while the spin options include Mehran Mumtaz and Sufiyan Muqeem.
Captain Babar Azam is the top scorer in the last 10 matches scoring 501 runs at an average of 55.67 and a strike rate of over 140. He is followed by Saim Ayub who has 303 runs in the last 10 matches with a healthier strike rate of 156.99. Ayub is also the top wicket taker with 8 wickets in the last 8 matches. Arif Yaqoob also has 8 wickets in the last 5 matches. Peshawar Zalmi under the captainship of Babar Azam seems to be in a good condition to defeat Quetta Gladiators in the opening game of PSL 2025.
Key players: Babar Azam, Saim Ayub, Alzarri Joseph, Arif Yaqoob
PZ Over/Under Betting Tips
One of the most eye pleasing and classical left handed batters in recent times from Pakistan, Saim Ayub has scored 303 runs in the last 10 T20 matches. He has a very good record at Rawalpindi (551 runs in 19 matches) and is coming after an injury layoff. Expect a positive start from the southpaw and we back him to score over 19 runs.
Tom Kohler Core has scored 388 runs in 10 matches, averaging 55.42 in 2025. At Rawalpindi, Kohler Core has scored 188 runs in 8 matches, averaging 33.16. He has been in the best of forms in the shortest format this year and expect the wicket keeper to score runs from the first match.
Peshawar Zalmi Predicted Playing XI:
Babar Azam (C), Saim Ayub, Tom Kohler-Core (wk), Arif Yaqoob, Najibullah Zadran, George Linde, Hussain Talat, Alzarri Joseph, Luke Wood, Sufiyan Muqeem, Mohammad Ali

Quetta Gladiators Preview
Quetta Gladiators will play their opening game of the Pakistan Super League 2025 against Peshawar Zalmi on April 12. The last time these two teams met, Quetta Gladiators suffered a heavy defeat against Peshawar Zalmi. In the last season, Quetta Gladiators could not qualify for the playoffs with just 5 wins in 10 games. Quetta Gladiators would be hoping to start this season on a winning note against Peshawar Zalmi.
Quetta Gladiators have lost 4 games out of their last 5. They also lag (2-3) in the head-to-head contest against Peshawar Zalmi. In the previous game against Peshawar Zalmi, Quetta Gladiators were all down for just 120 runs, chasing a peak target of 197. Earlier in the season though, they defeated Peshawar Zalmi by 16 runs. After scoring 206 batting first, Quetta Gladiators managed to restrict Peshawar Zalmi for 190 in 20 overs. Openers Jason Roy and South Shakeel top-scored with 70-plus runs.
The Gladiators have assembled a decent squad under the captainship of Saud Shakeel. Rilee Rossouw will be the vice-captain of this team. Both these players are crucial as far as Quetta Gladiators's batting is concerned. They will be ed by Finn Allen, Mark Chapman, and Shoaib Malik. In bowling, they have pacers such as Mohammad Aamir, Mohammad Wasim Jr., and New Zealand's Kyle Jamieson.
Spinner Akeal Hosein was standout performer last season, claiming 15 wickets in 10 matches at an economy of 7.7. Leg spinner, Abrar Ahmed, also secured 16 wickets in 10 matches at an economy of 7.8. Saud Shakeel is their top batter with 323 runs in the last 10 matches at a strike rate of above 140. He is followed by Khawaja Nafay with 182 runs in the last 10 games. Comparing the batting stats for both these teams, Quetta Gladiators's batting seems a bit weaker than Peshawar Zalmi.
Key players: Saud Shakeel, Rilee Rossouw, Abrar Ahmed, Akeal Hosein
QG Over/Under Betting Tips
Kusal Mendis has racked up over 1000 runs in 37 matches in 2024. He is a profilic ball striker who can single handedely take the game away from the opponents with his scintillating hitting. On a good batting track, Mendis will look to feast on the bowlers and we predict his score will be over 17 runs in today's match.
Quetta Gladiators Predicted Playing XI:
Saud Shakeel (C), Rilee Rossouw, Finn Allen, Khawaja Nafay, Kusal Mendis (wk), Shoaib Malik, Faheem Ashraf, Akeal Hosein, Mohammad Wasim Jr., Abrar Ahmed, Mohammad Amir
Quetta Gladiators Actual Playing XI:
Hasan Nawaz , Finn Allen, Saud Shakeel, Mohammad Amir, Kyle Jamieson, Shoaib Malik, Faheem Ashraf, Abrar Ahmad, Kusal Mendis, Rilee Rossouw, Usman Tariq

Total Over/Under Betting Tips
We back the home team Peshawar Zalmi to win the coin toss in match 2 of PSL 2025.
The last match played at Rawalpindi was a low scoring one where the total match score was 282. As it is an afternoon game with the sun belting down expect a dry surface with no grass. A moderate scoring match where a 1st innings score of 170-180 will be par at this venue.
Toss: To Bowl
In the six outright result games in T20 Internationals at this venue, all the six games have been won by the teams bowling first. There is definitely some assistance at the start of the game and the conditions get better for batting as the game goes on. The team winning the toss should bowl first here.
PSZ vs QTG
Winning Prediction
This is the opening game for Peshawar Zalmi and Quetta Gladiators. Although Peshawar Zalmi could not qualify for the finals in the last season, they have done pretty well to reach the playoffs. Quetta Gladiators, on the other hand, failed to reach playoffs in the previous season. Peshawar Zalmi's strength is batting while Quetta Gladiators's weakness is batting. We believe, given the history between two teams, Peshawar Zalmi have a slight advantage over Quetta Gladiators in this game.
We predict that Peshawar Zalmi will defeat Quetta Gladiators.
