For Islamabad United, this match will be all about maintaining their place in the top two as they have already qualified for the next round. The two-time champions have won six of their nine matches,

have emerged victorious on 9 occasions.

The last meeting saw Islamabad United winning the match by 6 wickets. A Hasan Ali three-wicket haul helped United restrict Zalmi to a score of 156 runs, before a Rahmanullah Gurbaz half-century
helped them chase the total in 14.5 overs.

A lot has been said about his strike rate, but skipper Babar Azam has undoubtedly been the best batter from Peshawar Zalmi. With 379 runs at an average of 50+, he is presently leading the run-scorers’ list for his team.

Babar has scored one century in this tournament, which came very recently in the match against Quetta Gladiators. Besides that, he has also scored three half-centuries against Karachi Kings, Islamabad United, and Lahore Qalandars.
