LAH vs PES Pitch Report
At the start of the tournament, the Gaddafi Stadium looked like a batting heaven. But in the previous two games, the runs decreased, and the bowlers impacted the match's fate more. However, given the history, the deck is expected to be flat again, and the batters will enjoy it. But the bowlers who can hit consistent areas regularly and use their variations cleverly will have an impact.

Fantasy Value from Pitch Report
- The stats suggest that the wicket gets better for batting in the second innings. The wicket has behaved a tad slower in the first half of the match.
- Spinners and faster bowlers who bowl in the death of the team that bowls first will be impactful choices.
- More top-order batters from the chasing team will be a safe approach.
LAH vs PES Fantasy Cricket Tips
Scenario: Lahore Qalandars Heavy Fantasy XI
- Sahibzada Farhan and Rassie van der Dussen have been the mainstays of the Qalandars batting. They will be important and obvious choices if you are backing the Lahore-base based franchise to win.
- Fakhar Zaman has looked a bit off colours, but he can have a lot of impact if he gets going. So, the Pakistani top-order batter could be your out of the box choice for the game.
- Zaman Khan bowls in the death and is a proper wicket taker in the phase. Keeping him in the fantasy XI will ensure you points in most matches.
Scenario: Peshawar Zalmi Heavy Fantasy XI
- Babar Azam becomes an automatic choice when the Zalmis are playing. Given his form in the tournament, keeping him in the fantasy XI will be a safe way.
- Salman Irshad bowls the tricky overs for the team. He is a pretty efficient operator in the middle and deathovers. Irshad's five wickets from three innings suggest keeping him in your fantasy XI would be relatively safe.
LAH vs PES Winner Predictions
Both the Zalmi and the Qalandars have looked completely off-colour in this edition of the tournament. However, given the record of the two teams at this venue, there is a chance that the Qalandars will pick up their first win of the tournament against the Zalmi.

Sahibzada Farhan (LAH)

The Lahore Qalandars opener has been the man in form in the batting. He has scored runs consistently and will be an essential choice for the fantasy contests of the match.
Zaman Khan (LAH)
Zaman Khan has been one of the very few positives for the Lahore Qalandars in this edition of the tournament. He has been very efficient in the death overs, and Zaman Khan's ability to pick up wickets regularly makes him one of the must-picks for the game.
Babar Azam (PES)
The Pakistani superstar has looked good with the bat in this tournament. However, Babar Azam has not scored anything big yet and given his form, this might be his day.
Luke Wood (PES)

LAH vs PES Differential Picks
Fakhar Zaman (LAH)
The Pakistani veteran has found it hard to get going in the tournament. But on his day, Fakhar Zaman can be a match-winner and might be the game-changing pick for the fantasy contests.
Saim Ayub (PES)
The talented young Pakistani opener has been out of form. But Ayub has the talent and has shown previously that he can be a match-winner. If Ayub finds his rhythm in this game, he might put you ahead in the fantasy contests.
LAH vs PES Fantasy Expert Advice
Keeping the behaviour of the Gaddafi stadium and the form of the players in mind, a 2-3-3-3 or a 1-3-3-4 combination will be ideal for the game.
