Multan Sultans vs Peshawar Zalmi Team Preview & Squads

Multan Sultans

The team led by Muhammad Rizwan displayed exceptional performance in their league match. They won by a score of 79 runs against the Quetta Gladiators to secure the top spot in the points standings. If they win this game, they’ll try to make it into the championship game for the fourth time in a row. In the league, they were defeated by Peshawar Zalmi in both of their encounters, and Rizwan hopes to reverse that result in this match.  

Muhammad Rizwan is performing well. He’ll try to take the initiative and get off to a strong start against Yasir Khan. With Johnson Charles and Iftikhar Ahmed in the middle order, Usman Khan, who has played well, will try to add runs. The lower middle order gains power from Chris Jordan and Tayyab Tahir.

For the team to win, their bowlers need to be at the peak of their game. Along with Mohammad Ali, David Willey, who bowls well, will try to attack early. Because of their current form, Usama Mir and Abbas Afridi will try to limit the amount of runs scored in the middle overs. The team will be hoping for strong performances from Iftikhar Ahmed and Chris Jordan in supporting roles.

Peshawar Zalmi

The team led by Babar Azam came in second place on the scoreboard. They defeated the Karachi Kings in a tough match to round out the league stage. The team will feel confident because their top order is playing well. Azam wants his team to draw motivation from their two victories over the Multan Sultans in the previous match.  

This season, Babar Azam has scored the most runs, and he will try to start strong alongside Saim Ayub. Their middle order is formidable, and the team anticipates collaborations with Mohammad Harris, Haseebullah Khan, and Tom Kohler-Cadmore. The team’s potent batting order is completed by Rovman Powell and Aamer Jamal.

In the last game, the bowling assault heroically held off a low total. Luke Wood and Mehran Mumtaz should produce tight stints with the new ball, according to the team. Being in strong form, Naveen-ul-Haq will try to limit Aimal Khan’s scores in the middle overs. Saim Ayub and Aamer Jamal give this attack more nuance.
