Peshawar Zalmi (PZ) have had a mixed time in the ongoing Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2025 season. The Babar Azam-led franchise finds themselves in a murky position in the points table. In seven matches, Peshawar has secured three wins and suffered four losses. Their Net Run Rate (NRR) is -0.082, and they are placed in fifth position in the PSL 2025 standings.

Their hopes of reaching the playoffs of the PSL 2025 found some respite with their win over leaders Islamabad United by six wickets. The team’s issue this season has been a non-settled playing XI, which sees constant chopping and changing. Babar Azam’s form, too, has affected the side; he is the backbone of their batting unit. In this article, take a look at how Peshawar Zalmi can qualify for the Pakistan Super League 2025 playoffs.
Peshawar Zalmi Playoffs Qualification Scenarios in PSL 2025
If Peshawar Zalmi win both their remaining group matches, they are likely to qualify, but a negative NRR will be a concern. Babar Azam and his men will need to win both their matches and do so by good margins to improve the poor NRR. Beating Karachi Kings and Lahore Qalandars will take their points tally to 12 points. However, Peshawar Zalmi can win one of their remaining two matches and still qualify. PSL 2025 Live Streaming Online on YouTube Stopped in India As Government Bans Several Pakistani Channels.

If Peshawar Zalmi lose one of their two remaining matches, they could still finish with 10 points. In such a scenario, Peshawar Zalmi can qualify for the PSL 2025 playoffs only if they manage to beat Lahore Qalandars, which will then ensure that the Shaheen Afridi-led side finishes with nine points.
