Even after posting 171 runs on board Lahore could not defend their total against Islamabad. Fakhar Zaman was the highest score who scored 65 runs and in bowling department Rahat Ali picked four wicket-haul in his four over, rest of the bowlers bowled expensive spells.
Coming to Peshawar Zalmi, they were the previous year runners up but this season they started their campaign with a loss to Quetta. In batting department, Kamran Akmal and Misbah-ul-Haq batted excellently well but other batsmen could not do well with bat. In bowling department except Wahab Riaz, all other bowled expensive spells which was the main reason for their loss against Quetta.
Player Recommendations:
Wicket-keeper: Kamran Akmal (9.5 credits)
Akmal is an well-established attacking wicket-keeper batsman and he showed the glimpse of it in his first match this season against Quetta were he scored 49 runs at an strike-rate of 136.11. Last year against Lahore Qalandars, Akmal scored 57 and 107 runs so, we can expect same high performance from the wicket-keeper.

Batsman: Fakhar Zaman (9.5 credits)
Opener and aggressive left-handed batsman and he is one of the top batsman of the limited overs format. He kick-started the tournament by firing 65 runs in 43 balls against Islamabad. Nevertheless he is a handy part-time left-arm spinner can bowl an over if the captain thinks. We can expect him to quick fire runs against Peshawar.
All-rounder: Liam Dawson (8.5 credits)
Dawson, a batting all-rounder kick-started his campaign by scoring 21 runs in the middle-order with the strike-rate of 150. His slow left-arm orthodox bowling can cause troubles to the batsmen. Though he did not pick wicket in his last match but he is capable of picking bunch of wickets.
Bowler: Wahab Riaz (9 credits)
Riaz a left-arm fast bowler, he has the pace to trouble the best batsman with his toe-crushing yorkers. Which he showed in his first match were he picked two wickets in his four overs and gave away just 18 runs. He is a kind of bowler who will keep the batsman on the back foot.
Captain: Kamran Akmal
Vice-captain: Fakhar Zaman
