This match comes to us from the legendary Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore. Good evening and welcome to THE ELIMINATOR! A high stakes encounter is before us today as Islamabad United face off against Peshawar Zalmi for a chance to stay alive in the tournament! I am Anirudh Modi, soon to be joined by my co-commentators Ajay Singh and Badal Pareek, will bring you the live ball-by-ball coverage of this much anticipated encounter! Well, we are in the endgame now. Multan Sultans continued their brilliant run this tournament by defeating the Lahore Qalandars and becoming the first team to reach the finals of PSL 2022. But we are focused on the eliminator today. Islamabad United will take on Peshawar Zalmi in today's game to face Lahore Qalandars in the second eliminator. Islamabad United's negative run rate impacted their season in a bad way. They were level on points with Lahore Qalandars after the round robin stage. However, Lahore's superior run rate meant they were the team to have 2 bites of the cherry. Islamabad Untied led by Asif Ali will be relying on their in form batter Alex Hales to provide them a flying start today. The Englishman has scored 255 runs from just 7 matches at an average of 42.50. Shadab Khan will be the man to watch. He is the highest wicket taker this tournament with 17 wickets in 7 matches. However, he can be a threat with the bat too. He has scored 232 runs this season at a strike rate of 165.71! Peshawar Zalmi on the other hand will be looking to the veteran Shoaib Malik to step up for them today. He has amassed 346 runs this season from 10 matches at an average of 43.25! His experience will be crucial to hold the Zalmi's batting lineup together today. With the ball, the bowling duo of Irshad and Riaz will have to do most of the heavy lifting. Many players, battles to watch out today and the action is just a few minutes away!
