Pakistan Super League 2024 has seen massive crowds come to the stadium and watch some incredible matches. Defending champions Lahore are down and nearly out but the other teams are still in the fray. On Monday, it will Shadab Khan versus Babar Azam as Islamabad United and Peshawar Zalmi play each other.
Islamabad United (ISL) are currently 4th in the table with 2 points from three games. Their only win came during the first day of the season versus Lahore. Shadab Khan wasn’t a happy captain when his team lost the game against Quetta in controversial fashion. The hawk-eye howler meant that Islamabad United were robbed off a win.
Peshawar Zalmi (PES) will be playing their second game in a row after taking on Lahore Qalandars on Sunday. The fatigue factor might come into play as they look to make a move upwards in the table. Playing two successive games at the Gaddafi Stadium will help Babar Azam and his side to know the conditions better.

Pitch report
As the season as gone on the Lahore surface has started to slow down. The captain who wins the toss will bowl first and try to take the advantage while chasing. Dew will be a major factor once again and a score around 160-175 can be chased down. New ball will move around a little bit to aid the pacers. Once the ball loses its shape the spinners will find it easier to bowl with the turn on offer.
