Multan Sultans vs Peshawar Zalmi Chances of Winning
Multan Sultans achieved a hat trick of victories in their previous match against Lahore Qalandars, wherein the latter won the toss and elected to bat first. They managed to muster a respectable total of 166/5 with major contributions from their middle order batsmen. Although the score was competitive, Multan Sultans chased it down with one over to spare as Mohammad Rizwan, their skipper, opener and wicket-keeper batter, fastened the team’s innings with an incredible half-century. Despite having lost five wickets, Multan Sultans was able to overcome Lahore Qalandars by chasing down a decent target.
Peshawar Zalmi was marred by misfortune in their last outing against Karachi Kings. They were doomed from the outset as they lost the toss and were tasked with batting first and securing a target. With a remarkable contribution from their captain, Babar Azam, the team posted a total of 154 runs on the board. However, this did not deter Karachi Kings who managed to complete the match in just 16.5 overs for the loss of three wickets. Peshawar Zalmi, unfortunately, conceded defeat by seven wickets.
Multan Sultans have enjoyed a three-match winning streak from the beginning of the tournament and they seem to be vengeful from their closely contested one-run defeat at the hands of Lahore Qalandars in the final of the previous season. Peshawar Zalmi, conversely, are yet to secure their first victory of the season as they enter their third fixture against a mighty formidable adversary.
