RAWALPINDI (Kashmir English): Lahore vs Peshawar: The decisive PSL X group stage clash between Lahore Qalandars and Peshawar Zalmi has been delayed due to poor visibility caused by a dust storm at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, casting uncertainty over the final playoff spot.
With both teams competing for the final playoff spot, fans were excitedly looking forward to the match which was set to start at 8:00PM. Lahore have gathered 9 points while Peshawar is on 8, so this game might decide their campaigns.
