Peshawar Zalmi Eye Nahid Rana As Solution to Bowling Woes After Mohammad Ali’s Expensive Spell

The expensive over from Mohammad Ali against Quetta Gladiators when he gave up 57 runs within four overs without any wickets has forced Peshawar Zalmi to evaluate changes in their bowling department. The team would benefit from drafting Nahid Rana at pace since he handles his bowling well and excels at grabbing wickets under pressure. His domestic numbers in 17 matches show bright potential since he collected 14 wickets at 8.52 economy. His strength stems from bowling skilfully during establishment and finishing overs which could help Zalmi achieve attack stability.

Zalmi Consider Linde And Sadaqat To Bolster Middle Order And Optimize Overseas Quota

The performance of Tom Kohler-Cadmore and Max Bryant has been weak according to Peshawar Zalmi management hence they might choose George Linde and Maaz Sadaqat as replacements. Linde provides Peshawar Zalmi with double benefits from his left-arm spin bowling abilities and batting proficiency at the lower order positions. The middle order section of Peshawar Zalmi receives technical stability from Maaz Sadaqat who maintains reliable form in domestic league matches. By including Linde and Sadaqat Zalmi would achieve better player management of their foreign quota allocation while strengthening their batting line-up before Islamabad United.
