Multan Sultans vs Peshawar Zalmi Match Analysis

The 9th PSL 2024 encounter will see Multan Sultans play Peshawar Zalmi at the Multan Cricket Stadium. The Sultans have won their last three games at this Multan location and are currently undefeated. Peshawar Zalmi, on the other side, will be looking to win this match after losing their last two. Their last game saw them bat first against Karachi and be bowled out for 154 runs. Peshawar Zalmi’s middle order raises a few significant issues. Peshawar needs their main players to start performing well in crucial areas as they prepare to play the powerful Sultans.

The lower-middle order of the Multan Sultans features capable finishers and a deep batting lineup. Even though this batting order has occasionally been inconsistent, the Sultans have always found a batsman to step up and win them a game.

Multan Sultans vs Peshawar Zalmi Team Preview & Squads

Multan Sultans

With two straight victories, the Multan Sultans are undefeated and will present a formidable challenge to the faltering Peshawar Zalmi. In the previous game, Sultans’ skipper Mohammed Rizwan hit a brilliant knock that helped the team win by five wickets. He’s been reliable lately, so middle-order hitters Yasir Khan and Reeza Hendricks should anticipate the same from him. After scoring fifty runs in the first game, Dawid Malan was out of the game after two innings.

First off, Malan’s performances are going to be a major blow to Multan. Rizwan is a dangerous batsman at the top who should be well-monitored. A strong finish can be achieved by Multan Sultans, who have some intriguing players in the bottom middle order. Those who can score runs quickly at the end of the game include big-hitting players like Khushdil Shah, Iftikhar Ahmed, and David Willey.

If the Sultans are to advance far in this competition, their potent batting order will need to be more consistent. Muhammad Ali has been the most reliable bowler when it comes to the ball. An additional important pacer in this bowling attack will be Abbas Afridi, who has also shown a lot of promise. Usama Mir has consistently produced breakthroughs in each match with his right-arm leg break. He is also incredibly frugal.

Peshawar Zalmi

After suffering two straight losses, Peshawar Zalmi will be hoping to start their PSL 2024 campaign without suffering a hat-trick of defeats. So far in both games, Babar Azam has scored fifty points. His efforts were insufficient to help Zalmi win because others had significant setbacks. In the previous match, PSZ was bowled out for 154 runs despite Babar’s 72-run effort.

Promising names including Saim Ayub, Mohammad Haris, and Tom Kohler-Cadmore are among the top 4. These are some skilled heavy hitters who can put pressure on the opposition with their rapid scoring. They have Asif Ali filling the finisher’s role and Rovman Powell in the lower middle order. This looks like a pretty good batting lineup that meets all the requirements.

Given what Pollard accomplished in the previous match, the bowlers will be under pressure. With 49 off 21 balls, he destroyed the PSZ bowling attack, leaving Zalmi stunned as they lost by 7 wickets. The main bowlers spearheading this bowling attack are Luke Wood, Waqar Salamkheil, and Salman Irshad. To help Peshawar win for the first time, the bowlers must put on an impressive display as they haven’t been playing at their best.

Multan Sultans vs Peshawar Zalmi outfield report

Multan Cricket Stadium, Multan

Here, the Multan Sultans won two games when they bowled first. This season, teams have chosen to bowl here twice already. The Sultans would be more than willing to chase a total against a faltering PSZ team given their present form. Zalmi might also try bowling first, which would relieve some of the strain on their batters.

On the day of the match, Multan will see largely sunny skies with a high of 24 degrees Celsius. The wicket is well-balanced, assisting both spinners and hitters. Neither has a definite advantage over the other. On this field, we anticipate a close battle between the bat and the ball.
