Peshawar Zalmi will lock horns against Quetta Gladiators in the 25th match of the ongoing Pakistan Super League 2023 at the Pindi Club Ground, Rawalpindi on Wednesday. The Babar Azam-led team has won four matches out of the seven they have played and they are currently in fourth position in the standings with eight points.
