– Team’s premium Allrounder Andre Russell was ruled out in last game after a ball hit his head , he didn’t bowl and was replaced by Naseem Shah as a concussion substitute.
– Russell has came to the team hotel after successful scans and is available for the game.
– Saim Ayub/Usman Khan and Faf Du Plessis will open the Innings. Usman Khan scored a brilliant 81 in the last game of PSL leg, but struggled to score in yesterday’s game.
– Faf has been in brilliant form in the IPL being highest scorer for CSK and scoring at an impressive SR of 145.
– Jake Weatherald will bat at 1 down. Weatherald has been really good in the BBL being among the all time highest scorers , also scored 43 in last game.
– Captain Sarfaraz will bat 2 down. Sarfaraz is in brilliant form this PSL with being the leading scorer of the team. He will also keep the Wickets.
– Young Azam Khan will bat 3 down. Azam has emerged as a attacking talent recently and will be important in that middle order.
– Andre Russell/Anwar Ali and Jack Wildermuth along with Mohammad Nawaz will be the Allrounders for Quetta.

– Naseem Shah/Usman Shinwari, Mohammad Hasnain, Andre Russell/Anwar Ali and Jack Wildermuth will be the pace attack of Quetta.
PES –
– Peshawar has always been a successful franchise in the PSL with 3 finals and 1 Trophy and have won 3 of their 6 games played so far. They failed to chase 171 last game and lost by 10 runs.
– Kamran Akmal and Young Haider Ali will open the innings. Kamran has always been a successful t20 batsman. He scored around 300 runs last season but have been in poor form in the starting games. Haider Ali is very talented but not performing according to his ability.
– Shoaib Malik will bat at 1 down. Malik showed his experience in last game where he scored a brilliant 73 in just 48 balls.
– David Miller and Rovman Powell will bat in the middle order. Miller no doubt is one of the most aggressive t20 batsman present but was struggling to hit the ball scoring 21 of 23 balls.
– Sherfane Rutherford will do the late hitting. He can change the game within few balls like he did with his 45 of 32 balls in the last game of Pakistan leg.
– Fabian Allen will be the spin option assisted by Shoaib Malik. Allen will contribute through bat as well.
– Wahab Riaz, Umaid Asif, Mohammad Imran and Mohammad Irfan will lead the pace attack.
