THE LOWDOWN

PESHAWAR ZALMI

  • A much needed nine-run win for Peshawar Zalmi over Karachi Kings last time out ended a two-match losing streak for Wahab Riaz’s side and they’ll be looking to take their biggest scalp of this competition so far in this contest.
  • Having not feature against Karachi, it remains to be seen if all-rounder Liam Livingstone and fast bowler Saqib Mahmood are each set to make their first appearances of the tournament for Peshawar following England duty.

MULTAN SULTANS

  • Multan Sultans stand as the only unbeaten side in this season’s PSL with the reigning champions having played four and won four, most recently beating Islamabad United by 20 runs in a match which saw them accumulate 217/5 batting first.
  • Head coach Andy Flower has left the Multan camp for India to play an active role in the upcoming IPL mega-auction, although is expected to remain involved remotely until his return, however Multan are not likely to change anything on the playing side considering their form.

THE PREDICTION

It remains to be seen if the absence of head coach Flower has an adverse effect on Multan Sultans here, but the players they have at their disposal contain plenty of experience and Mohammad Rizwan’s side are once again expected to rack up a significant score with the bat when taking into account the firepower within their top order. Rizwan and Shan Masood form a strong opening partnership, whilst overseas players Rilee Roussow and Tim David add muscle. Although Peshawar Zalmi put together an improved showing against Karachi Kings, Multan represents a far tougher level of opposition and with their batting order firing, combined with the likes of Imran Tahir and David Willey in excellent form with the ball, it is the Sultans who have to be favoured for the victory.
