This article will talk about the probable XIs for both teams and continue with the Dream11 predictions and the winning fantasy team for Match 17 of the PSL 2021 between Peshawar Zalmi and Lahore Qalandars that is to happen on the 10th of June 2021.
The 2nd match of the night will see the former 1-time PSL champions Peshawar Zalmi led by the pacer Wahab Riaz take on the Lahore Qalandars. This will be the first match since the resumption for the Zalmi, while the Lahore Qalandars have already played a game against Islamabad United.
The Peshawar-based team is sitting pretty at the 2nd place now with 3 wins from the 5 games they played in the first leg. But in their last league, the Karachi Kings toppled them 6 wickets.
Venue: Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi
Pitch and Weather– It will be near midnight start to the match due to the amount of heat that Abu Dhabi experiences in the day at this time of the year. The game could be high-scoring if the due sets in. Despite the game starting late at night, the temperature will be close to 30 C.
Date and time: June 10, 2021, 10 PM Local, 11 PM PKT, 11.30 PM IST
The Lahore Qalandars will likely to stick with the same side that faced Islamabad United.
Peshawar Zalmi playing their first after a slight revamp may get into the XI, the exciting Afghan opener Zazai who they went after in the new draft. Also, Fabien Allen could be a useful addition and may replace Mujeeb Ur Rahman who played for the team before the Pandemic suspended the league.
Lahore Qalandars – Fakhar Zaman, Sohail Akhtar(C), Ben Dunk, Mohammad Hafeez, Tim David, James Faulkner, Zeeshan Ashraf, Rashid Khan, Ahmed Daniyal, Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf
Peshawar Zalmi– Kamran Akmal(WK), Hazratullah Zazai, Shoaib Malik, Haider Ali, David Miller, Sherfane Rutherford, Fabien Allen, Amad Butt, Umaid Asif, Wahab Riaz(C), Mohammad Imran
There is nothing really to choose from the teams. Both of them had won 3 games before the tournament was halted. But the Lahore Qalandars boasts a better bowling attack and would have played a game prior. So they will start the game as slight favorites.
Batsman– This match-up has several exciting prospects in terms of batting from both sides. The likes of Fakhar Zaman, Shoaib Malik, Zazai, Haider Ali, David Millier are all great players that form a fantasy line-up.
All-rounders– We can look past the experienced pro, Mohammad Hafeez when it comes to the category of all-rounders. Also, Fabien Allen can do anything on a cricket field. So these two can be a sure shot pick in the Fantasy XI.
Wicket-Keepers– Veteran Keeper-batsman Kamran Akmal is among the top run-getters in the PSL. With him still scoring runs at the top, Akmal can be picked as the keeper of the side.
Bowlers– Lahore boasts some of the world’s best bowlers in this format such as Rashid Khan, Shaheen Afridi, and Haris Rauf. Wahab Riaz is another great option for fantasy.
Team for fantasy: Kamran Akmal, Fakhar Zaman, Haider Ali, Shoaib Malik, David Miller, Mohammad Hafeez, Fabien Allen, Wahab Riaz, James Faulkner, Rashid Khan, Haris Rauf.
Captain- Rashid Khan
The wily leg-spinner Rashid Khan can be selected as the captain of your Fantasy XI. He is widely experienced in the T20 circuit and in playing in UAE.
Vice-Captain– Fakhar Zaman
The left-hander was in pretty good form in his recent limited-overs outings for Pakistan. He can be a good choice as the vice-captain.
