Peshawar Zalmi vs Islamabad United match prediction 5th match

PZ vs IU PSL-7 Match 5 Predictions

Peshawar Zalmi will take on Islamabad United in the fifth match of the Pakistan Super League Season 7 at the National Stadium, Karachi on January 30, 2022.

After securing a win in their opening encounter of the season, by beating Quetta Gladiators by five wickets, Peshawar Zalmi will be eager to put one more on board by beating Islamabad United, who are yet to play a game. The Azhar Mahmood-coached side, led by an infaliable Shadab Khan, would want to surge off the inertia that pushed them back last year when they lost to eventual champions Multan Sultans and Peshawar Zalmi.

PZ vs IU PSL-7 Match 5 Player Bets

Alex Hales to have a big game

One of the biggest and most-sought after names in T20 cricket, Alex Hales has an experience of 323 T20 games and has piled on 9032 runs in the process. With a strike rate of 146.29 and an average of 30.62, it is anybody’s guess why Hales commands such a gigantic presence. The English opener has 54 half-centuries to go with five centuries in the shortest format of the game and add 66 thirties to the propositon, we have an irresistible plate in front of us. In 254 domestic T20s, Hales has an average of 30.78 and the corresponding numbers for the T20Is stand at 31.02. In 19 Pakistan Super League games, Hales averages 33.75. In 44 games in 2021, the Englishman averaged 34.13 while the number for the ongoing calendar year has already reached 47.17. If this matters, January is the most successful month for him as a T20 cricketer, as he averages 37.36 in the calendar month, making a strong case for this bet to come to fruition. Hence, you don’t need to think much and push the bet button on Parimatch.

Munro to set up the game for Islamabad

Colin Munro is born to play T20 cricket. In a career of incredible substance, the Kiwi man has participated in 320 T20s games for 14 teams and success has never eluded him. He has 46 fifties and five centuries to go with 62 thirties in his T20 career and is only nine runs short of 8000 runs in the shortest format of the game. With an average of 30.06 in domestic T20s, he has a niche of his own. Further, the fact that he averages 37.00 in wins makes him a great contender for the magnanimous success his sides have enjoyed across the world. He is an excellent bet while his side bat first, as he averages 35.09 but that drops to 25.11 in the second dig. For Islamabad United, his average stands at 44.42 - the highest he averages against any side in his career. That itself signifies a great deal of confidence on this bet but factor in his couple of fifties in four games against the Zalmi, you have a deal. Hence, it is prudent to opt for Munro as your wealth generator as we proceed towards great value creation.

Tom Kohler-Cadmore to score over 22.5 runs

While the above two bets are sure to keep you in good stead for the weekend, we have another deal at hand. Tom Kohler-Cadmore has an average of 30.37 in T20s at a strike rate of 139.24 over 100 matches. In domestic T20s, Kohler-Cadmore averages 29.57 to establish a well-rounded credential. In the first game for the Zalmi this, KD, as he is called, scored a 16-ball 22 before an incredible delivery by Mohammed Nawaz got rid of him. In the Men’s Hundred, he did well to have a great outing with an average of 31.00 in 3 matches for Northern Superchargers. In wins, his average stands at 39.57 and he especially has a great record when the team bat first, in which his runs per dismissal stands at 37.94. The English batter has 23 50-plus knocks, and a strike rate of 139.23 to his name prior to PSL7, and at the National Stadium in Pakistan, his average stands at 28.25. All these are an indicator of the fact that Tom Kohler-Cadmore can do very well as a batter to force the wind in a single direction. You can be benefited from the same by betting on him to ensure a lot of cash for the week ahead.
