Islamabad United will play against Peshawar Zalmi 1st PSL 2 match

The second Pakistan Super League is so close that it will begin on February 9, 2017. This time, due to sponsorship reasons, this tournament was known as PSL 2 or HBL PSL 2017. In the first game, defending champion Islamabad United will face Peshawar Zalmi, will be staged on February 9, 2017, Dubai International Cricket Stadium will be the organizers of the game. Just like the first season of the game, this time also, the full version of PSL will be hosted outside Pakistan, in which case the UAE will arrange it. However, a recent news, PSL 2 final race will be held in Lahore, Pakistan, but the message has yet to be confirmed.

However, due to last season's performance, Islamabad United is considered the most successful team, they will start a new season of trust. Misbah ul Haq is the current captain, may be Australia's all-around player Shane Watson will be the team's icon player. He also played in PSL's last season. In addition, the Islamabad team has selected a number of overseas players, in addition to the United Kingdom Sam Billings and Benedict, Australia Brad Harding, West Indies, Davina Smith, Samuel Badri, including Watson.

 

On the other hand, Peshawar Zalmi is one of the four teams in the PSL last season to enter the playoff stage but can not make it to the final. Their captain is Darren Sammy. This team is one of the most balanced teams, there are many opportunities to win the second PSL. They have the most dangerous batsman Eoin Morgan who is the English captain with the tiger fierce beater Tamim Iqbal, Marlon Samuels. In addition, Tanmay Mishra, Samit Patel, Andre Fletcher and Chris Jordan are also their current team as an overseas player. So hopefully their game will compete.

However, the PSL is one of the new short cricket games, but the first edition of the game is quite successful. So, maybe, PSL will be the most popular T20 cricket match in a very short period of time.
