Published on: Jan 18, 2022 2:17 pm IST|Updated on: Jan 24, 2022 12:23 pm IST
Peshawar Zalmi have assembled a pretty good squad for PSL 2022. The absence of Saqib Mahmood for the entirety of the last season hurt them big time.
Peshawar Zalmi in PSL 2022
They started their season very well in 2021 but faded away in the second half of the league that took place in UAE after the season came to a halt due to covid-19 outbreak in Pakistan but still managed to finish as the runners up of Pakistan Super League.
Kamran Akmal has withdrawn from the squad but they still have all bases covered with respect to their squad. The two experienced veterans in Wahab Riaz and Shoaib Malik will play this season as well.

Peshawar Zalmi vs Multan Sultans
There is a strong rivalry growing between these two teams in PSL. If there is one team that Peshawar Zalmi don’t have a positive win loss ratio, then, that is Mohammad Rizwan led Multan Sultans. Peshawar Zalmi lost to the same team in the finals of PSL 2021. They would have become 2 time champions if not for a loss in the final last year.

Peshawar Zalmi vs Quetta Gladiators
Another team against whom Zalmi have a positive win loss ratio but not much of a difference as they have won just one additional game than Quetta Gladiators. Zalmi smashed QG both the times in PSL 2021 and if not for that, QG had the upper hand prior to PSL 2021. Both the games in the previous season turned out to be an one sided affair with Zalmi winning it.
