Lahore vs Peshawar Prediction, Dream11 Fantasy Cricket Tips: Playing XI, Pitch Report & Injury Update – PSL 2020, Eliminator

Match Details:

The first Eliminator match of the Pakistan Super League 2020 will be played between Lahore Qalandars and Peshawar Zalmi at the National Stadium, Karachi.

This match is scheduled to start at 08:00 PM Local Time (08:30 PM IST). The game will be streamed live on YouTube.

Preview:

Lahore Qalandars will be playing against Peshawar Zalmi in the first Eliminator of the PSL playoffs. The Qalandars have never played in the knockout phases in their short history in this tournament. They finished in the top four for the first time with five wins in ten games after the league stage. They are coming off a brilliant victory against the table toppers and will have plenty of desire and motivation to get through in their first attempt. 

On the other hand, Peshawar Zalmi finished fourth in the league stage which is their worst ever finishing position in the short PSL history. They had a decent league stage with the ball but could not deliver the same in their batting. Faf du Plessis‘ form in the IPL will surely solve the majority of their problems in their batting.
