LAH vs PES Match Preview, PSL 2025 – Match 14

Lahore Qalandars (LAH) Preview

Lahore’s batting has clicked around Fakhar Zaman (176 runs) and Daryl Mitchell (144), while Rishad Hossain (8 wkts) continues to impress alongside Shaheen Afridi (6). The key will be finishing power and holding their nerve at the death.

Strengths & Concerns

• Top‑order runs: Fakhar and Mitchell in form

• Left‑arm pace duo: Shaheen & Zaman Khan swing and pace

• Middle overs spin: Rishad turning matches

• Finishers needed: Sam Billings & Sikandar Raza must close games

LAH Predicted Playing XI

Fakhar Zaman, Muhammad Naeem, Abdullah Shafique, Daryl Mitchell, Sikandar Raza, Sam Billings (wk), Haris Rauf, Zaman Khan, Asif Afridi, Shaheen Afridi (c), Rishad Hossain

Peshawar Zalmi (PES) Preview

Peshawar’s top three – Mohammad Haris (173), Babar Azam, and Saim Ayub – have fired, but the middle order must back them up. With the ball, Ali Raza (7 wkts) and Luke Wood shoulder the load; more support is required from the spinners.

Strengths & Concerns

• Explosive openers: Haris & Saim set the tone

• Captain calm: Babar’s stability vital in chases

• Power pace: Alzarri Joseph & Wood at the death

• Spin shortage: Arif Yaqoob must deliver on turning the track

PES Predicted Playing XI

Babar Azam (c), Saim Ayub, Mohammad Haris, Tom Kohler‑Cadmore (wk), Mitchell Owen, Hussain Talat, Abdul Samad, Alzarri Joseph, Luke Wood, Arif Yaqoob, Ali Raza

Pitch & Weather – Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore

The Lahore surface is traditionally batting‑friendly with even bounce. Expect plenty of runs in the Powerplay, but spinners come into the game once the ball gets softer under lights.

Weather: Clear skies, 29 °C, negligible humidity, no rain threat.

Match Prediction – Who Will Win LAH vs PES?

Verdict: Lahore Qalandars to win

Home conditions, a stronger bowling attack led by Shaheen & Rishad, and an in‑form top order give Lahore a noticeable edge. Zalmi need a batting masterclass from their top three and improved death bowling to cause an upset.
