MS vs PSZ Match Prediction & Analysis
Multan Sultans will take on Peshawar Zalmi at the Multan Cricket Stadium in the 9th match of PSL 2024. Sultans have been unbeaten so far and have won their last 3 matches at this venue in Multan.
Peshawar Zalmi, on the other hand, have lost two in two and will be hoping for a comeback in this game. They were bowled out for 154 runs in their last match while batting first against Karachi.
There are some major concerns in the middle-order of the Peshawar Zalmi. As they take on the mighty Sultans, Peshawar need their key players to start delivering in key areas.
Multan Sultans have a deep batting lineup with in-form finishers in the lower-middle order.
While there have been inconsistencies in this batting lineup too, Sultans have always found some or other batsman who would step up and be the match-winner for them.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Multan Sultans Preview
Multan Sultans are in great touch with back-to-back wins and will be posing a tough challenge to a struggling Peshawar Zalmi. Skipper Mohammad Rizwan played a fine knock in the last match taking Sultans to a 5-wicket win.
He’s been quite consistent lately and will be expecting the same from middle-order batters like Reeza Hendricks and Yasir Khan. Dawid Malan, who scored a fifty in the opening match was out for a duck in his last two innings.
As an opener, these performances from Malan will hurt Multan in a big way. Rizwan is a reliable batsman at the top and will be a key player to watch out for.
The lower middle order holds the key to a great finish and Multan Sultans have some exciting names in these positions. David Willey, Iftikhar Ahmed, and Khushdil Shah are some of the big-hitting players who can score quick runs at the death.
It looks like a strong batting lineup that needs some consistency if the Sultans are to go far in this tournament. With the ball, Muhammad Ali has been the most consistent among the bowlers.
Abbas Afridi has also shown great promise and will be another key pacer in this bowling attack. Usama Mir with his right-arm legbreak has been quite economical and also delivered breakthroughs in every game.
Multan Sultans Predicted Playing XI:
Mohammad Rizwan (c & wk), Dawid Malan, Reeza Hendricks, Yasir Khan, Iftikhar Ahmed, Khushdil Shah, David Willey, Usama Mir, Abbas Afridi, Mohammad Ali, Shahnawaz Dahani

Peshawar Zalmi Preview
Peshawar Zalmi have lost two in a row and will be looking to avoid a hattrick of losses to kick off their PSL 2024 journey. Babar Azam has scored a fifty in both games so far.
His contributions couldn’t get Zalmi to a victory since others failed in a big way. Babar scored 72 in the last game as PSZ were bowled out for 154 runs.
The top 4 feature some promising names such as Saim Ayub, Mohammad Haris, and Tom Kohler-Core. These are some big hitters with experience and can put the opposition under pressure with their quick-scoring.
In the lower middle order, they’ve got Rovman Powell and Asif Ali in the finisher’s role. On paper, this is a very strong batting lineup that ticks all the right boxes.
However, except for a couple of batters, almost all have struggled to get going in the recent outings. This will be a crucial game for Peshawar Zalmi. A loss here could push them further under pressure and make it that much more difficult to bounce back.
The bowlers will be under pressure after what Pollard did in the last game. He completely thrashed the PSZ bowling attack with 49 off 21 balls and left Zalmi speechless as they lost by 7 wickets.
Luke Wood, Waqar Salamkheil, and Salman Irshad are the key bowlers leading this bowling attack. The bowlers haven’t been in their best form and need an inspiring performance to lead Peshawar to their first win.
Peshawar Zalmi Predicted Playing XI:
Saim Ayub, Babar Azam (c), Mohammad Haris (wk), Tom Kohler-Core, Rovman Powell, Asif Ali, Aamer Jamal, Luke Wood, Mohammad Zeeshan, Waqar Salamkheil, Salman Irshad

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
It is a balanced wicket that offers help for both batters and bowlers. There is no clear advantage to either one. We expect an even contest between the bat and the ball on this pitch. The weather will be mostly sunny with a high of 24 degrees Celsius in Multan on the match day.
MS vs PSZ Pitch Report
Multan Cricket Stadium will be the venue for this match. Sultans have won 3 consecutive games here and will be confident of continuing their winning streak. The venue has hosted only 9 domestic T20 matches and the average 1st innings score here is 175 runs. However, the recent matches saw bowlers finding some help and it wasn’t so easy for the batters to score big. We reckon anything around 180-185 can be a match-winning score in this game.
Toss: To Bowl
Multan Sultans have won two of their matches while bowling first here. Teams have opted to bowl here on two occasions so far this season. With their current form, the Sultans would be more than happy to chase a total against a struggling PSZ side. It would be also a good option for Zalmi to bowl first as it would take some pressure off their batters.
MS vs PSZ
Winning Prediction
Multan Sultans are in great touch with consecutive victories at this venue. They’ve got their struggles in the batting department which opens up opportunities for Peshawar to exploit and get on top of the game. However, Zalmi’s current form isn’t very promising. And we reckon Multan Sultans will have the upper hand going into this match.
