PES vs RAP Dream11 Prediction, Dream11 Playing XI, Today Match 3, PSL 2026

Dream11 fantasy XI tips and guide for match 3 of the PSL 2026 between PES vs PIN to be played in Lahore.

Peshawar Zalmi won the second edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) in 2017, and since then they are yet to win their second PSL title. Though they have played three finals in 2018, 2019, and 2021, they lost all three.

They are all set to play their first game of the new season. Peshawar Zalmi, under the captaincy of Babar Azam, will take on Rawalpindi Pindiz, who are making their debut in the PSL. They are the costliest PSL franchise and have appointed Mohammad Rizwan as their captain.

Both teams have a star-studded lineup, and it will be a thrilling contest. But it will be the experience of the Zalmi against the confidence of the Pindiz. Two points from this game will be an ideal start for the winning side.
