LAH vs PES Dream11 Prediction & Fan2Play Possible 11 Pitch Report: PSL 2022 Match 30 | LAH vs PES Dream11 Prediction Today | Lahore Qalandars vs Peshawar Zalmi Key Players | Lahore Pitch Report

After some twists and turns – particularly in recent times – the anticipation grows further as the final four teams have been confirmed. Lahore Qalandars and Peshawar Zalmi will take part in the quest for the PSL Title, with both sides doing battle today in one final hitout before the crunch matches.

Injuries and departures among overseas players has put a bit of a dampener on proceedings, but domestic talent is certainly exciting. One such talent is Zalmi’s Mohammad Haris, who has taken the PSL by storm. His latest knock – a brilliant 70 off 32 balls vs Islamabad – was as classy as it was dominant, and he will be looking to lead the way once again in Zalmi’s search for a fourth consecutive win.

It will take something nearly impossible for Zalmi to place Lahore in the PSL table. Shaheen Shah Afridi’s team has all but locked up second spot with consistent performances in recent times, with the latest being a 66-run hammering of Islamabad courtesy of Harry Brooks’ stunning century.

Now, Lahore will have to produce the goods without Rashid Khan, who has left for national duty. How they deal with his absence will be interesting to see, and the franchise will have the chance to test themselves before the playoffs.

Possible Playing 11

Rashid Khan has left the PSL to prepare for Afghanistan’s white-ball tour of Bangladesh.

Lahore Qalandars: 1. Fakhar Zaman, 2. Phil Salt (wk), 3. Kamran Ghulam, 4. Mohammad Hafeez, 5. Harry Brook, 6. Sohail Akhtar, 7. David Wiese, 8. Samit Patel, 9. Shaheen Shah Afridi, 10. Haris Rauf, 11. Zaman Khan

Liam Livingstone is out of the remainder of PSL 2022 after suffering an injury. Sherfane Rutherford has flown home to be with his family, with Benny Howell joining the franchise after the BPL. Hazratullah Zazai will also take part on the series vs Bangladesh starting soon, so Kamran Akmal or Haider Ali could come back into the team.

Peshawar Zalmi: 1. Mohammad Haris (wk), 2. Kamran Akmal/Haider Ali, 3. Yasir Khan, 4. Shoaib Malik, 5. Hussain Talat, 6. Benny Howell, 7. Ben Cutting, 8. Wahab Riaz (c), 9. Matt Parkinson/Sameen Gul, 10. Usman Qadir, 11. Salman Irshad

Key Players to Watch/Key Stats

Lahore Qalandars:

• Fakhar Zaman has struck an incredible seven 50+ scores in nine innings this season. This includes a 38-ball 66 against Zalmi.
• What a knock it was last time out by Harry Brook. The Englishman smashed a superb 49-ball 102* vs Islamabad, and he will be looking to produce another impactful innings here. In fact, he has been strong this season, with 206 runs at a strike rate of 182.30.
• Mohammad Hafeez has had a relatively quiet season in PSL 2022 (avg. 25), but he has some good numbers for Lahore against Zalmi: 6 inns, 151 runs, avg. 50.33, SR 145.19. He scored 37* (19) against them earlier this season.
• David Wiese’s all-round ability will be key in the absence of Rashid Khan. Wiese’s 68 runs vs Zalmi since 2020 come at a strike rate of 178.95. He also has taken nine wickets in six matches against them at an average of 17.78 and economy rate of 8.42. This includes 2/11 earlier in PSL 2022.
• Shaheen Shah Afridi has taken the most wickets in LAH-PES matches (15 wickets, avg. 13.87, econ. 6.12). He was superb against them earlier this season with his 2/19 in a high-scoring match. He also has the fourth-most wickets in PSL 2022 (14).
• Zaman Khan has also taken 14 wickets this season, including 3/32 vs Zalmi.

• All eyes on Mohammad Haris against Lahore’s strong attack. The classy batsman has been magnificent so far, smashing 148 runs in his three matches at an average of 49.33 and strike rate of 194.73.
• Zalmi could look at bringing Kamran Akmal back into the XI. He has scored the most runs in LAH-PES matches, with 319 at an average of 31.90 and strike rate of 130.20.
• Shoaib Malik has enjoyed an excellent season to date. The veteran has struck 314 runs (fifth-most of any player) at an average of 44.85 and strike rate of 142.08.
• Malik also has some strong numbers against Lahore since the start of 2020 (5 inns, 207 runs, avg. 41.40, SR 139.86).

• Wahab Riaz, like Shaheen, has 15 wickets in LAH-PES matches at an average of 25.67 and economy rate of 7.52. Also, after going wicketless in his first four matches of PSL 2022, Wahab has taken seven scalps in his next four outings.
