Preview
In the match 12th of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2024 , the defending champions Lahore Qalandars will take on Peshawar Zalmi at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. The Qalandars and Zalmi are both languishing at the bottom of the PSL table after their first three matches. Therefore, a victory will be vital for either Lahore or Peshawar to keep up the pace with the top teams in the PSL standings.
Pitch Report
The pitches at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore have been very good for the batters during the current edition of the PSL. The average first innings score at this venue in the PSL 2024 is 176, which both Lahore and Peshawar will be looking to get past in their upcoming contest.
Team Analysis
Lahore Qalandars
The top order of Lahore Qalandars, including the likes of Sahibzada Farhan, and Rassie van der Dussen, has been quite impressive with the bat, despite their three consecutive losses to start the new PSL 2024 season. But the lack of wickets for the captain Shaheen Shah Afridi and Haris Rauf has been the biggest problem for the Qalandars in the early stages of the competition.

Peshawar Zalmi
The captain of Peshawar Zalmi, Babar Azam, has been in decent batting form, and there have been contributions with the bat from the overseas star Rovman Powell. In their previous outing, a win against Multan Sultans, Luke Wood, and Arif Yaqoob played a key role with the ball for the Zalmi, restricting the flow of runs and picking up wickets at key times.
