Team Analysis:
Multan Sultan:
The team will be coming to this match in their last face-off, banking on a comprehensive win by 57-runs against the same opponent (Peshawar Zalmi). The group performed incredibly well in the game, openers Shah Masood (35 off 25 balls) and skipper Md. Rizwan (82 off 53 balls) provided a much-needed foundation in the 1st innings. At the same time, their middle-order batters stood tall. Sohaib Maqsood (25 off 17), Tim David (51 off 19), and Khushdil Shah (21 off 7) contributed heavily in the game to pose a massive target of 222 runs in 20th over. The team's bowlers were exceptional in the match; Shahnawaz Dahani and Imran Tahir clinched 3-wickets each, which resulted in Peshawar Zalmi's batting collapse.
Peshwar Zalmi:
The team has struggled so far in the tournament. Peshawar Zalmi suffered an embarrassing defeat in their last clash with Multan Sultans. The table-toppers completely outplayed them. In the 1st innings, bowlers conceded too many runs while batters followed a similar disappointing trend and could not rise above occasions. Hazratullah Zazai (43 off 32 balls) and Ben Cutting (52 off 31 balls) were the standout performers for the team.
Match prediction:
Conclusion: Considering Multan Sultan's dominance in the tournament, they are likely to emerge victorious against Peshawar Zalmi.
