Match Analysis PZ vs QG
Quetta Gladiators
This PZ vs QG match has a batting disaster for Quetta Gladiators. So, Saud Shakeel and Jason Roy planned to give a better start. But, they lose their wickets on the team scoring 49 runs in 5 overs. Sarfaraz Ahmed missed out due to his batting form and was replaced by Umair Yousuf. Peshawar Zalmi`s part-time bowler is very difficult for Quetta batters. Also, they played sloppy shots and lost the wickets. This is the 2nd successive defeat for the Gladiators. Despite having a good mentor their batters performance is questionable.
The bowling of Quetta Gladiators is very bad. Muhammad Hasnain is just the carbon copy of Haris Rauf. Experienced Sohail Khan is also expensive. Muhammad Hasnain needs 2 or 3 first-class seasons to improve his bowling. Also, he has playing since 2019 but his line or length is very poor. You cannot rely on pace and you should bowl positive mind. Also, their bowlers conceded runs in death overs are also questionable. Only Akeal Hosein is excellent because of his hat trick. Otherwise, Peshawar Zalmi eyes a huge total.
Peshawar Zalmi
The PZ vs QG is for good match for Peshawar Zalmi. So, this victory has Zalmi qualify for playoffs and move to 2nd position. The Pakistan cricket fans think about the tournament final of Multan and Quetta. But, After Quetta`s performance in recent matches, the final of the HBL PSL 9 match might be between Peshawar and Multan. The recent performance of Peshawar Zalmi is like the back in title-winning hopes. Saim Ayub and Babar Azam’s opening pair is very destructive. It’s good to see that Tom Kohler-Cadmore is back in form.
Muhammad Haris’s positive approach is good and he plans to play a good inning. Unfortunately, a good throw of Gladiator’s fielder to the stumps and he`s unlucky and runs out. Rovman Powel is doing an excellent job in death overs batting and made 17 runs in the last over.
Today`s bowling Peshawar Zalmi seems to be a good approach. Saim Ayub`s bowling gives Peshawar Zalmi Captain Babar Azam another opening bowling option. So, Saim Ayub is just like a part-time bowler and after this performance, he can be a good spin bowling AllRounder. Mehran Mumtaz and Khurram Shahzad impress with their bowling. They are both good bowlers and may be part of the national team in the future. Aamer Jamal, Naveen ul Haq, and Luke Wood played an important part in this victory.
