ISL vs PES Dream11 prediction, Fantasy tips for PSL 2023 Eliminator 1: Pitch report, injury update

ISL
vs
PES
injury
update,
key
players

Islamabad
United
injury
update,
key
players
in
PSL
2023

There’s
no
update
on
Azam
Khan’s
availability
for
the
game
after
missing
the
last
match
against
the
same
outfit
following
a
finger
injury
during
keeping
in
the
penultimate
game
against
Lahore
Qalandars.
Pacer
Zeeshan
Zameer,
who
was
injured
earlier
this
month,
was
expected
to
return
to
the
team
by
the
time
of
the
play-offs.

Uncertainty
over
Azam
Khan’s
availability

Azam’s
absence
may
hurt
Islamabad
United’s
chances
as
the
middle-order
batter
has
played
many
crucial
innings
for
the
side
and
was
the
second-highest
run-getter
with
236
runs
in
eight
innings.

In
his
absence,
the
team
suffered
a
batting
collapse
against
Qalanadars
and
then
went
down
chasing
against
their
today’s
rivals
Peshawar
Zalmi.
There’s
no
update
on
Moeen
Ali
joining
the
squad
despite
reports
of
him
being
available
for
the
play-off
stages.

Colin
Munro
and
Alex
Hales
need
to
fire

Colin
Munro
and
Alex
Hales
carry
the
brunt
of
scoring
with
the
former
also
the
leading
run-scorer
with
294
runs.
The
New
Zealand
batter,
who
was
shifted
to
the
No.
3
as
Islamabad
shuffled
the
batting
order,
hasn’t
scored
big
innings
in
the
past
two
games
but
will
be
expected
to
retain
his
good
show
from
earlier
in
the
month.

English
opener
Hales
has
misfired
since
arrival
with
just
80
runs
in
five
matches
but
was
kept
in
the
side
with
the
outfit
hoping
he
will
live
up
to
his
reputation.

There’s
also
suspense
over
who
will
start
the
inning
for
Islamabad,
especially
if
Azam
Khan
doesn’t
make
the
squad.
Afghan
opener
Rahmanullah
Gurbaz
was
shifted
down
to
the
middle-order
to
replace
Azam
Khan
and
played
a
decent
knock
of
33
runs
from
24
balls.

However,
Gurbaz,
who
has
scored
a
half
century
earlier
in
the
season,
has
failed
to
maintain
consistency
in
his
peformance.
However,
on
his
day,
the
batter
can
do
a
lot
of
destruction.

Faheem
Ashraf
and
Shadab
Khan
crucial
in
the
middle
order

Shadab
Khan
has
struggled
with
the
bat
for
the
most
part
of
the
PSL
but
has
found
some
form
off
late.
The
skipper
scored
25
in
the
last
game
after
returning
to
form
with
a
knock
of
44
against
Multan
Sultans
in
a
narrow
win.
And
with
the
pitch
assisting
spinners,
Shabad
is
expected
to
play
a
bigger
role
in
the
match.

Medium-pace
all-rounder
Faheem
Ashraf,
who
bats
at
No.
6,
has
been
more
reliant
with
the
bat
off
late
with
knocks
of
38,
51*,
39*
and
41
in
the
recent
past.
Ashraf’s
bowling,
however,
hasn’t
been
as
impressive
as
his
batting
with
seven
wickets
in
10
games.

His
role
has
been
more
crucial
with
finisher
Asif
Ali
not
living
up
to
his
expectation
with
just
36
runs
in
his
last
five
innings.

Fazalhaq
Farooqi
and
Hasan
Ali
lead
pace
attack

Young
pacer
Fazalhaq
Farooqi
and
Hasan
Ali
has
added
to
Islamabad
bowling
strength
off
late
and
have
put
up
some
match-winning
performances.
Southpaw
Farooqi
has
taken
10
wickets
in
the
last
five
games,
including
3-for
thrice,
while
Hasan
comes
into
the
game
taking
3/39
against
Zalmis
in
the
last
game.

Mohammad
Wasim,
on
the
other
hand,
has
been
ineffective
and
has
leaked
a
lot
of
runs.

Spin
has
been
concern
for
the
side.
Barring,
Shadab
Khan,
the
team
has
struggled
to
find
its
second
spinner
with
Mubasir
Khan
and
Abrar
Ahmed
not
impressing
enough
in
the
format.

Peshawar
Zalmi
injury
update,
team
news,
key
players

Peshawar
Zalmi
have
no
injury
concerns
ahead
of
the
game
so
far
and
the
side
also
earned
some
winning
momentum
by
defeating
Islamabad
in
their
last
league
match
but
have
few
issues
to
address
in
their
bowling.
However,
the
batting
concerns
look
more
or
less
sorted.

Babar
Azam,
Saim
Ayub
and
Mohammad
Haris
in
hot
form

The
top-order
of
Peshawar
Zalmi
has
been
their
prime
strength
with
Babar
Azam
and
Saim
Ayub
forming
a
good
partnership
top
of
the
order.
The
skipper
is
second
in
the
Maroon
Cap
race
with
416
runs
and
slammed
a
century
as
well.
Saim
Ayub,
on
the
other
hand,
has
scored
three
half-centuries
in
his
last
five
innings.

Mohammad
Haris,
who
was
demoted
to
No.
3
after
a
string
of
poor
shows,
found
form
in
the
last
game
as
well
with
a
lightning
knock
of
79
that
dismantled
Islamabad’s
bowling
on
Rawalpindi’s
flat
track.

Tom
Kohler
Cadmore
and
Rovman
Powell
hold
key
in
middle-order

Tom
Kohler
Cadmore
started
the
season
with
a
blast,
scoring
92
in
his
first
game
but
since
then
endured
a
rough
patch
before
finally
showing
consistency
in
the
late
stages
of
the
league
with
knocks
of
38,
36*
56*
and
55
to
consolidate
his
spot
in
the
playing
11.
Rovman
Powell,
on
the
other
hand,
has
been
good
at
pacing
the
run
rate
as
he
has
been
striking
at
the
rate
of
167.26
this
season
over
eight
games.

Down
the
batting
order
wicket-keeper
Haseebullah
Khan
and
all-rounder
Azmatullah
Omarzai
are
capable
of
scoring
quick
runs
if
called
for.

Khurram
Shahzad
and
Sufiyan
Muqeem
to
return
to
line-up?

Peshawar
Zalmi’s
dipped
off
late
with
their
bowlers
leaking
runs
aplenty
as
240
was
chased
down
twice
against
them.
Likes
of
Wahab
Riaz,
Azmatullah
Omarzai,
Arshab
Iqbal
gave
away
too
many
runs
until
the
skipper
returned
the
likes
of
Khurram
Shahzad,
Sufiyan
Muqeem,
and
James
Neesham
to
the
playing
11
in
the
dead
rubber
against
Islamabad.

The
trio
took
eight
wickets
in
the
game
with
Shahzad
and
Muqeem
taking
three
wickets
apiece.
Muqeem,
in
fact,
could
play
a
pivotal
role
in
the
game
with
spinners
finding
more
value
on
the
Gadaffi
surface.

Mujeeb
Ur
Rahman
will
look
to
exploit
the
same
after
taking
just
four
wickets
in
the
last
five
games.

Wahab
Riaz,
on
the
other
hand,
has
taken
seven
wickets
in
the
last
five
games
and
his
experience
is
something
that
the
team
management
will
like
to
have
in
the
squad.

report
ISL
vs

Lahore’s
Gaddafi
Stadium
has
gone
slower
and
dryer
with
the
help
on
the
offer
for
spinners.
Anything
above
160-170
could
be
a
task
to
chase.
There
could
be
help
on
the
offer
for
pacers
too
with
the
Qualifier
1
match
seeing
swing
coming
into
play
in
the
second
innings
with
the
change
in
the
weather
that
helped
Multan
Sultans’ pacers
to
make
the
most
out
of
it.
