Match Preview
Multan Sultans are in full flow, they have won all the games they have played so far in this competition, they are arguably the best in this tournament. With Shan Masood and Mohammad Rizwan opening the innings, they provide a wonderful launchpad for their team. They also possess a sensational bowling lineup that has the capability of defending any target and restricting the opposition on smaller totals. Peshawar Zalmi were in the groove in the last match where they defeated Karachi Kings by the margin of 9 runs, Hazratullah Zazai looked in a nice touch, he was middling the balls nicely and was scoring pretty quickly, Shoaib Malik also owns the capability of hitting a long ball as he did in the last match against Karachi Kings. They have a formidable bowling attack as well which can take wickets in the middle and can slow down the scoring rate.
Multan Sultans are super strong at this point and it’s difficult to beat them this time around so, they certainly are the favourites in this match.
Prediction: Multan Sultans will beat Karachi Kings.
