It is a Super Saturday in terms of cricket and we are going to have a double-header today; Islamabad United vs Peshawar Zalmi and Lahore Qalandars vs Quetta Gladiators. The first match is scheduled in Rawalpindi whereas the second will be a home game for the Qalandars. Rain, however, will be the likely winner.
Both Islamabad and Peshawar are placed in the top 3 and this would be their chance to further strengthen their chances of making it to the play-offs.

Luke Ronchi (WK), Colin Munro, Rizwan Hussain, Colin Ingram, Asif Ali, Shadab Khan (C), Amad Butt, Zafar Gohar, Rumman Raees, Dale Steyn, Akif Javed

Tom Banton, Kamran Akmal (WK), Haider Ali, Shoaib Malik, Liam Livingstone, Liam Dawson, Lewis Gregory, Wahab Riaz (C), Hasan Ali, Yasir Shah, Mohammad Amir Khan
Players to Lookout For
Islamabad United:
Asif Ali has had starts but he hasn’t had the impact he used to have in the previous seasons. He will have to step up his game.
Peshawar Zalmi:
Lewis Gregory has been a useful addition to the Zalmi squad. He is not only a good bowler but a very powerful lower-order batsman.
