Peshawar Zalmi have won the toss and have opted to field
14:30 Local Time, 09:30 GMT, 15:00 IST: We're back at the Pindi stadium for the first game of today's double header and it features a neutral contest - Peshawar Zalmi are up against Quetta Gladiators and both teams will look to make a winning start. Both teams lost to eventual champions Islamabad United during the playoff stage of last year's tournament and both teams have made changes during this year's draft. It's an afternoon game and as such the pitch is likely to be bone dry. A hot day in Rawalpindi, but at 32 degrees, it shouldn't be too tough for either of the teams. Islamabad laid the marker yesterday with a convincing win in a modest chase against the Qalandars from Lahore, but do expect more runs today. Toss and team sheets coming up shortly..
