PSL: Peshawar Zalmi face off against Lahore Qalandars today in Abu Dhabi

ISLAMABAD: Peshawar Zalmi, one of the teams in the Pakistan Super League Twenty20 cricket competition, will face off today, Thursday, against the Lahore Qalandars.
Pakistan’s flagship cricket super league tournament resumed in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday, with Lahore Qalandars bagging a five-wicket last-ball victory over Islamabad United.
The HBL Pakistan Super League (PSL) was postponed in March after a string of positive coronavirus cases among players and officials. While previous matches were held in Pakistan, the resumed series is being hosted at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
In the last match of PSL's sixth edition on Wednesday, Islamabad United set a 144-run target for Lahore Qalandars. Before the tournament was halted, United had won three out of four matches and were above Qalandars on the basis of Net Run Rate (NRR) on the points table.
Captain Sohail Akhtar (40 off 30 balls, five fours and one six) and Mohammad Hafeez (29 off 25) were the chief run-getters for Lahore, which will take on Peshawar Zalmi next on Thursday night.
“Both Qalandars and United, along with Karachi Kings and Peshawar Zalmi, are locked at six points apiece,” the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said in a statement. “But, the two sides have played one less match as compared with Kings and Zalmi, meaning Wednesday’s winner will go top of the points table after halfway stage in the competition.”
