In the head-to-head record against Islamabad United, PZ have emerged as the better team although by a slight margin but would want to increase the same at the National Stadium on a Sunday afternoon.

Islamabad United, on the other hand, will be playing their season opener against Peshawar. Readers must note that United had been knocked out of PSL 2021 Eliminator 2 by Zalmi.

Chasing a 175-run target at the Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi seven months ago, Peshawar had sealed the chase in just the 17th over. A match-winning 126-run partnership for the second wicket between Hazratullah Zazai (66) and James Vince (55*) was followed by veteran batter Shoaib Malik scoring 32* (10) with the help of five fours and a six.
