PZ vs LQ: How the Rivalry Swung Season by Season
Peshawar built their lead early. After a 1-1 split in 2016, they won all six games across 2017, 2018 and 2019. That stretch included Lahore’s two lowest totals in the fixture, 59 all out in 10.2 overs at Dubai on 12 Feb 2017 and 78 all out at Dubai on 17 Feb 2019, plus a 10-wicket Zalmi win at Sharjah on 3 Mar 2018.
Lahore turned it round from 2020. They took two of three that year, both games in 2021, and two of three in 2023. The 2022 season added the only tie, in Lahore on 21 Feb 2022, which Peshawar won in the super over. Since 2024 the results have traded back and forth.
Venue has mattered. Peshawar have won all four meetings at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Lahore have the better of it at home, four wins to two at the Gaddafi Stadium, and three of four at the National Stadium in Karachi.
