PSL 2021 Match 10: ISL vs PES Dream11 Prediction Possible Playing 11 Pitch Report | ISL vs PES Dream11 Prediction Today | Islamabad United vs Peshawar Zalmi Key Players | Karachi Pitch Report

Two sides who are looking impressive so far go head-to-head in what promises to be a blockbuster clash on Saturday evening.

PSL 2021 has been dominated by the chasing teams, and these two sides are proof of that. Islamabad United have won two of three games, including a successful chase of 197 last game vs the Kings in a game where a number of batsmen contributed. Peshawar Zalmi have achieved two huge run-chases in a row (194 and 199), so confidence will be sky-high.

So, can the team bowling first compete in a game between two strong chasing sides?

Key Players to Watch/Key Stats

Islamabad United:

• Alex Hales, who had a terrific BBL campaign, is coming off a man-of-the-match performance (46 off 21 balls). Key player.
• Shadab Khan slammed 77 off 42 balls against Zalmi last season. He was player of the match. He also has 10 wickets in eight matches vs Zalmi.
• Hasan Ali will be key against his former side. He has taken two wickets in his two games so far this season (econ. 6.50).
• Lewis Gregory, who smashed 49* off 31 balls earlier this season, will be key with both bat and ball.

Peshawar Zalmi:

• Kamran Akmal has the most runs in ISL-PES matches (383, avg. 31.92, SR 149.03). Solid numbers for a key player today.
• Imam-ul-Haq has two consecutive scores in the 40s in PSL 2021 (48 and 41). Zalmi will be hoping that he can build on a modest record vs Islamabad (4 matches, 98 runs, avg. 24.50, SR 144.12).
• Haider Ali produced a knock worthy of his talent yesterday (50 off 29 balls). Can he back it up with another?
