The opening match against Quetta Gladiators is anticipated to be a thrilling encounter, especially considering Quetta’s resurgence in the previous season. Key matchups also include fixtures against Lahore Qalandars and Multan Sultans, both known for their formidable lineups. The group stage will conclude with a match against Karachi Kings on March 11, 2025, in Karachi.
Home Ground Matches:
Despite playing matches in various cities across Pakistan—Multan, Rawalpindi, Karachi, and Lahore—Peshawar Zalmi does not have any fixtures scheduled at their home ground in Peshawar. This situation arises due to several factors:
- Security Concerns: The proximity to Afghanistan may cause hesitation among foreign players regarding travel to Peshawar.
- Infrastructure Limitations: The local stadium requires upgrades to accommodate larger crowds while ensuring team security.
- Accommodation Facilities: There is a lack of suitable lodging options for players near the stadium.
The Zalmi administration has previously addressed these issues with the relevant authorities, but resolutions have yet to materialize.
Conclusion:
Peshawar Zalmi’s group stage matches span from February 18 to March 11, 2025. Supporters are encouraged to rally behind the team, even in the absence of home ground fixtures. With strategic leadership and a cohesive squad, there is optimism that Zalmi can secure the PSL 2025 title.
