Peshawar Zalmi vs Quetta Gladiators Prediction

Peshawar Zalmi have been exceptional in this season’s Pakistan Super League and are yet to taste defeat. They’ve already beaten Quetta with authority earlier in the campaign, and with the kind of form they’re in right now, it’s hard to see that changing. I’m backing Peshawar to come out on top again, with 1xBet pricing them at 1.75.
