12BET Predictions PSL 202l Eliminator 2: Islamabad United vs Peshawar Zalmi
Islamabad United will face off against Peshawar Zalmi in the second eliminator of the Pakistan Super League. Cricket betting will be in full flow in this penultimate game of the PSL 2021 season. Both teams will be keen on winning the game and booking their place in the final of the tournament.
Islamabad United:
Who says Islamabad United could not be beaten in PSL 2021? Well, Multan did prove the popular prediction wrong by handing Shadab Khan and the company a 31-run loss. Chasing 181, Islamabad was bowled out for 149 runs. Except for Usman Khawaja’s 70 at the top, no batsman found ground. The loss broke their sequence of five consecutive wins. This should be a great cricket match too if both teams can deliver.
In Eliminator 2, Islamabad will have another chance at reaching the final and even after a hiccup, Shadab Khan knows his side is ready to win the title this year.
Islamabad United Predicted XI:
Usman Khawaja (c), Colin Munro, Brandon King, Asif Ali, Akhlaq Mohd (wk), Iftikhar Ahmed, Hussain Talat, Faheem Ashraf, Fawad Ahmed, Hasan Ali and Akif Javed
Islamabad United squad: Shadab Khan (c), Ahmed Saifi Abdullah, Ali Khan, Akif Javed, Asif Ali, Colin Munro, Fawad Ahmed, Faheem Ashraf, Hasan Ali, Hussain Talat, Iftikhar Ahmed, Mohammad Wasim Jnr, Mohammad Akhlaq, Musa Khan, Rohail Nazir, Usman Khawaja, Zafar Gohar and Zeeshan Zameer.
Peshawar Zalmi:
Peshawar Zalmi riding on a five-wicket win over Karachi Kings in the Eliminator 1. Opener Hazratullah Zazai’s explosive 38-ball 77 guided them to chase down a 176-run target with one ball to spare. Shane Rutherford’s 10-ball 17 run cameo finished things off for the Zalmis. However, except these two, none of the batsmen really fired. Their bowling attack put on a balanced show in the first innings, Wahab Riaz, Asif and Irfan getting two wickets each.
The last time Peshawar took on Islamabad, the two put on a run-fest, United emerging victorious.

Kamran Akmal (WK), Haider Ali, Shoaib Malik, David Miller, Rovman Powell, Sherfane Rutherford, Fabian Allen, Wahab Riaz (C), Umaid Asif, Mohammad Imran, Mohammad Irfan
