Peshawar Zalmi vs Islamabad United second eliminator match starts today and just a few hours later today's match is going to be another high voltage match. It is very difficult to say which team will win this match as both the teams will want to perform at their best to qualify for the finals. However, after the impressive win against Quetta Gladiators in Eliminator 1, Islamabad United will be very confident and will be expected to perform well against Peshawar Zalmi to make it to the finals. If we talk about BPL matches Fortune Barisal beat Rangpur Riders to secure the final. That way if Islamabad United can give their best performance and win the match against Peshawar Zalmi and go to the final.

Match 33 Islamabad United vs Peshawar Zalmi
Play-off
Eliminator 2
Another Big and exciting game is played within a couple of minutes.
Both teams played their PSL 9 games and saw ups and downs but today is a Knockout stage team with good strategy and intensity that will surely qualify for PSL 9 final.
The way IU played the last 2 games showed that IU is now a different team and the way they jell together is such a good thing for a team to win the match and tournament while on the other side, PZ is a bit nervous by losing their previous game but we hope for the best and good encounter.

Today, Peshawar Zalmi is up against Islamabad United in the eliminator match. It's a highly anticipated game in the second eliminator round. Islamabad United is considered the favorite due to Zalmi's weaker squad, but there's a remarkable difference: Babar's consistent performance. Despite this, Peshawar Zalmi has won all its matches while defending, showing strength in the final overs. Let's see how it unfolds.

Apparently in today's match I backed Islamabad United as a possibility to qualify but in reality it doesn't look like they will qualify for the final. Peshawar Zalmi has just two batsmen, one Babar Azam and the other Saim Ayub, if either of them performs well, Peshawar Zalmi can target big runs on that day.
Babar Azam was dismissed for 25 runs in today's match but Saim Ayyub is unbeaten on 70 runs so far. If Saim Ayub can bat a little more then Peshawar Zalmi will easily exceed the target of 170 runs.
My long belief in today's match is that Peshawar Zalmi will beat Islamabad United and compete well with Multan Sultan in the final. However, nothing can be said for sure until the latest update of the game is known.

In second elimanited match Islamabad United won the toss and decide to bowl first. Peshawar zalmi very aggressive batting and Scored 131 runs in a loss of 2 wickets in 15 overs of the match. Sam Ayub played an outstanding innings of 73 runs from just 44 balls of the match but unfortunately missed his well-deserved century by a few runs short. I think Peshawar Zalmi will set a big total on board if they score 200 runs then they will easily win this match.

Peshawar Zalmi has a very strong position in the match and I do not think that they can lose from this position. Recently Saim Ayub lost his wicket at 73 runs but he played his part. I hope that with this strong start and wickets in hand, the Peshawar Zalmi should end up scoring 200+ and secure their position in the finals.

Naseem Shah took two wickets but there were no other successful bowlers and this is the main reason why Islamabad united bowlers weren't able to put any pressure on the opponent. Also Islamabad united have some good batting in the form of Alex Hales, Martin Guptil,    
Shadab Khan and others and therefore Peshawar Zalmi needs to make sure to score above 200 runs to put extra pressure on the opponents batsmen's in the 2nd innings.

Now runs has been controlled. Peshawar was in the very good position to score above 200. Saim Ayub did a great job. Today no luck with babar but Saim and Haris gives hope to the team. Naseem Shah picked 3 wickets and last 2 overs no boundaries I seen. Peshawar will be not happy with this finish. Islamabad have a good batting line up and any score under 180 will be not a big challenge for Islamabad united. If Peshawar success to pick early wickets then chasing pressure will work for Peshawar otherwise Islamabad will go in to the final

In this second eliminator, we have good start from the Peshawar Zalmi but now suddenly good comeback from the Islamabad United which is having good bowling attack which is giving them good support at this difficult situation even right now any prediction is not easy while Peshawar Zalmi is doing good batting with good half century form the Saim Ayub and then good hitting from the Mohammad Harris now we have Tom Kohler-Cadmore who is hitting good shorts all around the ground still it's possible for the Peshawar Zalmi to have decent runs on the board, and then we will have good fight from the Islamabad United which is also doing good in this season.

Roman Powell fail to hit as we have from Tom Kohler-Cadmore one more over like this can bring Peshawar in good situation with all is running for the big target which is looking not easy.

Today match is the between Islamabad united and Peshawar zalmi. Islamabad united won the toss and first decided bowling. Peshawar zalmi batsman makes 6 run in 1 over and Islamabad no any wicket against Peshawar zalmi batsman. This is the good started for Peshawar zalmi batsman.

Congratulations Islamabad United to qualify in Final game.

[Nazmul012]

Islamabad United won last 2matches and become make themselves quality for final against Multan Sultans! Where Multan Sultans also defeated their opponent with decent amount of runs and wickets performance. But i must say Peshawar Zalmi played good with Islamabad United where they scored 185-5, Saim Ayub made 77 and Haris made 40 runs. And Islamabad United performance wasn't good at start up but gradually they not only improved themselves but also won the match where Haider Ali & Imad Wasim, each of them. Made half century

[Tahid12]

Islamabad United played excellently against Peshawar Zalmi. At first they seems struggling for making runs but anyhow they overcome the situation. First Peshawar Zalmi went to bat, they managed to collect 185 runs, Babar Azam have done 25 runs only but  Saim Ayub  get highlighted for his effort as he have done 73 runs from 44 balls only. And their others players also perform as well. When Islamabad United started batting, they already lost 3 wickets at 21 runs and 4 wickets gone for 50 runs only. Then Imad Wasim made half century and with Haider Ali, they botheaded the match where Haider Ali highlighted for his contribution of 52 runs from 29 balls. Thus their team got the victory

Islamabad United must prepare for Congratulations final match. Islamabad United Imad Wasim and Haider Ali performed so well. These two players have the most important role, because if Imad Wasim and Haider Ali did not perform well, Islamabad United would have lost. Imad Wasim scored 59 runs off 40 balls, and Haider Ali scored 52 runs off just 29 balls. Performed so well towards the last that the win was secured with little ease.

Will have to work hard enough to win the final match as there will be a match against the capital Sultan Sultan team. The team that was top of the points table managed to win very easily. As much as possible if Multan Sultan team wants to win the final match then must work hard and participate in the final match.

Hard luck for Peshawar Zalmi they tried their best to win the match and qualify for the Final of PSL but they failed to defend a big target of 186 runs. At one stage Islamabad united loss 5 wickets in just around 90 runs Peshawar zalmi is looking to win match very comfortable but after a good partnership of Imad wasim and haider Ali took match away from Peshawar zalmi and they chased down the target in second last over of the match. Now final will be played between Multan sultans and Islamabad united and i hope its an interesting match of PSL.

Peshawar Zalmi failed to reach the final despite playing two matches. At the beginning of the match I thought Peshawar Zalmi will win but Peshawar Zalmi had bad luck that they didn't win. Peshawar Zalmi set a target of 185 runs which was enough to win. If Peshawar Zalmi bowlers could have bowled well they could have won. In the beginning Peshawar Zalmi bowlers bowled very well, but could not maintain consistency. Islamabad United went into bat to win and chased down the target in 19 overs. Imad Wasim has performed very well in both batting and bowling. Let's see if Islamabad United can pull off a surprise in the final.

The Islamabad United team was under a lot of pressure after losing 3 wickets in the beginning to bat against the target of 186 runs given by Peshawar Zalmi. At one point it seemed that Islamabad United could not win the match against Peshawar Zalmi. But Haider Ali and Imad Wasim did not have much problem to win with the excellent batting of Islamabad United team. If Peshawar Zalmi bowlers could have broken the partnership of Imad Wasim and Haider Ali then Peshawar Zalmi would have won. Islamabad United won by 5 wickets and entered the final.

Congratulations Islamabad United to qualify in Final game.

Islamabad United won the match but there is a deficiency in their team which could hurt them in the final against Multan Sultan. That is the issue of Ubaid Shah, he just played a match with Islamabad United and in that match his performance was not good, and then he was dropped for the whole PSL.

It is not fair to him. He should get once more chance to play but at the same time, now their team is in a position where the situation is a do or die for them, either lift the trophy or be a runner-up.  So they cannot take any risks to include him in the final match. But if this risk is taken it could rise in a good way if he showed a good performance at the finals. If this experiment of giving a chance to him in the final fails then the whole blame goes to him (and the selectors too ) and most probably then he never gets a chance to play.

you are Right the partnership of more than 90 runs between Haider Ali and Imad Wasim changed the result of the match. While chasing down the target Islamabad United loss easily four wickets in a power play and Peshawar Zalmi was in a winning position. Then the partnership between Imad and Haider changed the match to Islamabad United. Peshawar Zalmi bowlers failed to break the partnership and lost this match. Tomorrow is the final of the PSL between Islamabad United and Multan Sultans.

The way Imad played and he made sure that he stayed on the crease and took this match deep and also made sure that with his guidance other players firstly Azam Khan and then Haider Ali stuck at the crease and tried to win this match for IU and they did for the team.
All credit goes to Imad Wasim for this victory He successfully pockets 2 important MOM awards and proved everyone wrong. This is actually what your Platinum Category player did.
Apart from their clash with Baber no doubt Imad is also a good player and his form is back now.

If this experiment of giving a chance to him in the final fails then the whole blame goes to him (and the selectors too ) and most probably then he never gets a chance to play.

Ubaid Shah was included in the squad by Islamabad United for the first two matches and bowled just one over in the first match, bowling 15 runs and taking no wickets. In the second match, Ubaid Shah managed to bowl two overs but conceded only 15 runs in two overs without picking up any wickets. But he should have been given a third chance and he could have returned to performing well as a young player, maybe Islamabad United didn't expect anything better from him and maybe didn't include him in the squad later on. However, it is not possible to say with certainty how well Islamabad United will perform in this year's Pakistan Super League finals, but they have fifty-fifty wins in two matches with Multan Sultans in this year's Pakistan Super League. But in the final, Multan Sultans are very likely to win.
