LAH vs PES Match Preview
Defending champions Lahore Qalandars will take on Peshawar Zalmi in the 17th match of the PSL 2024. The match is scheduled to take place at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on 2nd March 2024.
Lahore Qalandars are having a poor outing this season. After 6 fixtures, they are still looking for their first win of the season. In the previous head-to-head against Peshawar Zalmi, they lost by 8 runs at their home ground in Lahore.
Peshawar Zalmi are having a decent season so far. They are at the 3rd spot on the points table with 3 wins in 5 matches. They started off with two defeats but backed themselves up and won three games in a row which gave them the momentum.
Let’s take a look at the dream11 team prediction as LAH and PES face each other one more time in the PSL 2024 edition.

Players To Avoid – LAH vs PES Dream11
- Asif Ali – Asif Ali has scored 61 runs in 5 matches at a low average of 20.33. He is a power-hitter but does not look confident this season. We are not expecting runs from him in the next game.
- Kamran Ghulam – It won’t be right to write him off in just his second game of the season, but he did not look confident in the first match, where he scored 18 fantasy points. He scored 12 runs in the first match.
