Islamabad United vs Peshawar Zalmi Dream11 Prediction: PSL 2025 Match 5

The stage is set for an electrifying clash as Islamabad United (IU) takes on Peshawar Zalmi (PZ) in the fifth match of the Pakistan Super League 2025 (PSL 2025) at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on April 14. 

Islamabad, fresh off their title-winning run last season, stormed into this campaign with an eight-wicket victory over Lahore Qalandars. Their bowling, spearheaded by Jason Holder’s four-wicket spell, looked razor-sharp, bundling out Lahore for just 139 runs.

Colin Munro with his fifty and Agha Salman anchored their chase of 140 runs as Islamabad won the match with 14 balls to spare.

Peshawar Zalmi is smarting from an 80-run thrashing against Quetta Gladiators, where their bowlers took a pounding with Quetta’s batters running riot, scoring 216 runs.

Their chase of 217 runs crumbled like dry sand. Babar Azam fell for a rare duck, and the middle-order folded under pressure, leaving Saim Ayub’s spirited fifty as a lone highlight.
