PES vs ISL T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, Eliminator PSL 2024
With Multan Sultans awaiting the winner in Monday evening’s final, Peshawar Zalmi and Islamabad United face off in the Eliminator 2 on Saturday evening at the National Stadium, Karachi. Peshawar Zalmi lost to Multan Sultans in the Qualifier on Thursday with Islamabad beating Quetta Gladiators in the Eliminator 1 on Friday. Read on as we preview this match. The game gets underway at 21:00 local time on March 16th.
After ending the group stage and going into the knockout stage in strong form, Peshawar Zalmi were well beaten by Multan Sultans in the Qualifier. However, they have had a strong tournament and they will fancy their chances of beating Islamabad United.
Islamabad United continued their recent excellent form with a 39 run victory over Quetta Gladiators in Friday’s knockout game. They will need to match that performance against a very strong and also in-form Peshawar Zalmi if they are to make the final.

After injuring himself in the successful chase against Multan Sultans in Match 27, Colin Munro was ruled out of the Eliminator 1 and few expect him to be fit in time for this game only 24 hours later. Martin Guptill and Obed McCoy came into the side on Friday and we expect them both to play again in this match.
