 Lahore Qalandars vs Peshawar Zalmi, Match 14 – Preview, Dream11 Tips & Prediction | PSL 2025

1. Match Overview:

          The Pakistan Super League 2025 is heating up, and today’s blockbuster clash between Lahore Qalandars and Peshawar Zalmi is set to thrill fans. Scheduled for April 24, 2025, at 8:00 PM PST (15:00 GMT), this 14th match of the tournament will be crucial for both sides to climb up the points table.

2. Team Analysis

Peshawar Zalmi: Led by the ever-reliable Babar Azam, Zalmi boasts a dynamic top-order with Saim Ayub and Kohler-Cadmore. The presence of all-rounders like Hussain Talat and pacers Alzarri Joseph and Luke Wood gives the team balance. The only concern might be the consistency of their middle-order.

Lahore Qalandars: Captain Shaheen Afridi spearheads a dangerous bowling lineup, backed by Haris Rauf and Zaman Khan. The batting unit, featuring Fakhar Zaman, Sam Billings, and Daryl Mitchell, is full of match-winners. However, their batting collapses in past games raise questions about stability.

3. Pitch Report & Conditions:

   The pitch at Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore, is expected to be a batting-friendly track with some help for the fast bowlers under lights. Dew may come into play in the second innings, making chasing slightly easier.

Ideal Decision: Win the toss and bowl first.

4. Key Players to Watch

Babar Azam – Class and consistency at the top

Shaheen Afridi – Always a threat in the powerplay

Fakhar Zaman – Explosive start provider

Tom Kohler-Cadmore – Underrated anchor with power

Rashid Hossain – Can surprise with both bat and ball

5. Match Prediction While both teams are stacked, Peshawar Zalmi seems slightly more balanced. But Qalandars playing at home gives them an edge.
