LIVE PSZ 113/1 (14) | PSL 2026 LIVE SCORE and UPDATES: Peshawar Zalmi vs Lahore Qalandars

A high of 33 degrees today with 39% humidity. A nice breeze is coming through—the square boundaries are 64 and 65 meters, while the straight boundary is 73 meters. We’re back to pitch number 2. The groundsman thinks this will play better, it’swatered well and there could be some bounce on offer. Some live grass – hard length and straight lines, if you’re a bowler, reckons Dominic Cork, in his pitch report

Babar Azam – The preparations have been the same; the conditions look a bit different today. We will just try and follow the process. Spinners usually dominate here and we have a good combination. We have the momentum and will look to perform well. Same team for us.
Shaheen Afridi – We will bowl. You do lose an odd match in a tournament like this. We have a few changes and are playing two spinners. We’ll try and restrict them to 160.

13:40 Local Time, 08:40 GMT, 14:10 IST: We’re reaching the mid-way point of this season’s PSL and today’s afternoon game pits the Qalandars against the Zalmis in a crucial league match. The Qalandars were bowled out for a mere 100 in their last game at this venue; it was a role reversal for the Zalmis, who plundered 246 against the Kings from Karachi. Form and confidence suggest the Zalmis are favourites today, but you cannot take anything for granted and the Qalandars would be looking to bounce back into winning ways. The pitches here in Karachi have flummoxed many, creating uncertainty about how the game will play out. Will we see a high-scoring contest today? Toss and team news coming up shortly..
