One defeat would mean a direct elimination from the tournament, and both teams would be giving their best to win the contest.
Islamabad United will lock horns with Peshawar Zalmi in the Eliminator. The match will take place at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on Thursday, 16th March. We have got out first finalists, now it is the fight for the second spot between these two strong sides. The winner of this contest will have to play Lahore Qalandars in Eliminator 2 to make it to the grand finale of the tournament. Islamabad United have played some brilliant cricket throughout the tournament. They won six out of their ten games in the league stages. Despite having the same points as Multan Sultans, they finished third in the table due to a poor net run rate. Peshawar Zalmi, on the other hand, won five of their ten matches and finished fourth in the points table.Â
Led by Babar Azam they have gone on to lose some high-scoring contests, they couldn’t defend 240 runs twice in this tournament. Islamabad United’s batting looks solid but it’s the bowling that they have lacked. Peshawar Zalmi had to win their final league game against United to seal their spot in the knockout stages of the tournament, which they did. One defeat would mean a direct elimination from the tournament, and both teams would be giving their best to win the contest. The stakes are really high for both teams and they would want to get out their best game tonight.
