Sources close to the franchise have not issued any official statement regarding the severity of the injury, but internal reports suggest that Babar is expected to be fit and available for today’s game. According to team insiders, there is a 90% chance that the star batter will lead Zalmi on the field this afternoon.
Babar Azam’s presence is vital for Peshawar Zalmi not only because he is their captain, but also due to his outstanding run tally. He is currently the top run-scorer of the PSL, and no player has matched his consistency with the bat so far.
Today’s match is scheduled to begin at 3:30 PM at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, known for its batting-friendly pitch. The previous game held at this venue, where Islamabad United comfortably chased down a target against Lahore Qalandars, saw several boundaries, reaffirming that the pitch offers significant support to batters.

In a major boost for Zalmi, young opener Saim Ayub has also rejoined the squad after recovering from injury. If both Babar Azam and Saim Ayub open the innings, Zalmi could pose a serious threat to any opponent.
With the pitch expected to favor batsmen and Peshawar boasting powerful hitters, including Babar and Saim, today’s encounter against a strong Quetta side promises to be a high-scoring thriller. Fans will be hoping their skipper is fully fit and ready to deliver another masterclass in PSL 10’s much-anticipated opening clash.
