The second eliminator of the ongoing sixth season of the Pakistan Super League will be played between Islamabad United and Peshawar Zalmi in Abu Dhabi tonight.
In what will be the second knockout match of PSL 2021, both teams will have to register a victory to move towards the final of the tournament against Multan Sultans.
Table-toppers in the league stage, United’s winning streak was brought to a halt last night by Sultans after they failed to chase a 181-run target at the same venue.
Better placed than Karachi Kings on the points table, Peshawar sealed a 176-run chase in the last over on the back of opening batsman Hazratullah Zazai scoring his second PSL 2021 half-century on Monday.

The last time when United and Zalmi had faced each other was at the Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium less than a week ago. Asked to bat first by Peshawar captain Wahab Riaz, Islamabad scored a gargantuan 247/2 in 20 overs primarily due to Usman Khawaja scoring a match-winning 105* (56) with the help of 13 fours and three sixes.
A high-scoring clash witnessed Zalmi lagging behind by 15 runs despite quickfire half-centuries from veteran batsmen Shoaib Malik (68) and Kamran Akmal (53).
