With PSL 10 in its final leg, Peshawar Zalmi takes on Multan Sultans tonight in a do-or-die encounter at the Multan International Cricket Stadium. While the Zalmis are struggling to remain in playoff contention, the Sultans will be competing for pride after a disappointing season.
Multan Sultans: Playing for Redemption at Home
Multan Sultans, who sit bottom of the table, have found it tough going with both bat and ball in this campaign. After a thrilling victory earlier in the season, they’ve been on a losing streak of seven. Skipper Mohammad Rizwan and opener Usman Khan have attempted to steady innings, but the team has not been able to provide finishing punches nor consistency.
With their final two games against Peshawar Zalmi and Quetta Gladiators, the Sultans will hope to salvage some pride and possibly play spoilers for Zalmi’s playoff push.
