The club, captained by seasoned Shaheen Shah Afridi, has a dynamic squad that combines youth and experience, but they can't seem to connect this season.
Despite their problems, captain Shaheen Shah Afridi's tough bowling has been a standout, as he continues to make important contributions with the ball.

Peshawar Zalmi Preview
In the 2024 Pakistan Super League (PSL), Peshawar Zalmi has performed admirably, especially driven by the standout performances of key players like Babar Azam, who in the last match led the team to a victory over Islamabad United by scoring an unforgettable century (111 runs).
The team's batting lineup, which has strong middle-order batsmen like Asif Ali and top-order players like Saim Ayub and Mohammad Haris, is what essentially makes them formidable. The lack of Gus Atkinson and Naveen-ul-Haq for the whole season has revealed weaknesses in Peshawar Zalmi's pace attack, which is highly dependent on players like Luke Wood and Arif Yaqoob, who claimed five wickets in the most recent game.
Peshawar Zalmi - Who Will Be The Best Batter?
Babar Azam is undoubtedly the best batter in the team, having demonstrated his capability to score crucial runs and lead the team from the front.
He is the captain of the Peshawar's team and is currently the top run scorer in the tournament so far. It’s the safest betting odds for cricket that Babar Azam is likely to end up as the best batter in the upcoming match.
