PSL 2026 PZ vs QG: Head-to-Head, Probable Playing XI, & Where to Watch

Peshawar Zalmi are on a roll. Six games in, and they are still unbeaten. Their most recent victory came against Multan Sultans, who were by no means a timid opponent. Sultans put up a good fight, and Zalmi had to toil hard to earn the win. Ultimately, they prolonged their stay at the top of the table, and before a four-day break in their schedule, Zalmi will face Quetta Gladiators.

The table-toppers will be without their main pacers, Nahid Rana and Shoriful Islam, both of whom will fly back home on April 14. That could open a gap in their bowling attack, and Zalmi would hope their backup options are good enough to cover the bases.

Quetta have won two of their five games, one of which, against Karachi Kings, was a close call. They defeated Rawalpindiz in their most recent game, which ended their two-game losing streak. They would, however, find relief in the fact that their Net Run Rate (NRR) is still healthy enough. A win could see them dethrone Karachi Kings in fourth place.

Head-to-Head Matches:

In 26 games between the two sides, Zalmi have a slight edge, winning 13 matches and losing 12. One game ended in a no result.
