Peshawar Zalmi started PSL 2024 with two consecutive losses but now they are on a winning streak of 3 matches and it makes them a strong team. However, the team has a major void in their batting lineup as the team is only dependent on skipper Babar Azam to score runs.
He is the leading run-scorer in the league with 330 runs in 5 matches at an average of 82.50. Saim Ayub is struggling to be consistent as his average stands at 35 in 5 matches with a total score of 175.
On the bowling front, Arif Yaqoob has come out as a major contributor to the team with the ball. In just 3 matches, he has picked up 8 wickets at an economy of 8.27. Luke Wood is following him with 7 wickets in 7 matches at an economy of 7.82.
Babar Azam, Mohammad Haris, and Arif Yaqoob are the key players in the team.
Predicted Lineup: Asif Ali, Babar Azam, Rovman Powell, Saim Ayub, Salman Irshad, Haseebullah Khan, Mohammad Haris, Naveen ul Haq, Arif Yaqoob, Paul Walter, Luke Wood
Peshawar Zalmi are struggling with their batting unit. They are only dependent on Babar Azam to score the majority of the runs and he is not getting any support from the other end.
Multan Sultans is a well-balanced team with a good depth in their batting unit and their bowlers have also performed exceptionally well. We predict a win for Multan Sultans on Tuesday.
