In a thrilling fixture, Peshawar Zalmi defeated Karachi Kings in their last league match and entered the qualifier round.
The top order saw only Babar Azam scoring runs in difficult situations. Babar scored 51 off 46 at a strike rate of 110.87. The middle order failed to contribute a big number but Rovmen Powell scored 30 off 18 at a strike rate of 166.67.
The bowling unit was under pressure as it was not a winnable score. The start by the pace unit was slow but soon the bowlers took control of the game in the middle overs. Naveen-ul-Haq picked up 2 wickets in 4 overs at an economy of 5.50. Luke Wood, Aamir Jamal, and Saim Ayub scalped a single wicket each.
Babar Azam, Saim Ayub, and Luke Wood are the key players in the team.
Predicted Lineup: Babar Azam, Rovman Powell, Saim Ayub, Aamer Jamal, Haseebullah Khan, Tom Kohler Cadmore, Mohammad Haris, Mehran Mumtaz, Naveen ul Haq, Luke Wood, Aimal Khan
Peshawar Zalmi have made it to the qualifier round but they still have some unavoidable issues in the team. In the batting unit, the team is only dependent on Babar Azam to score runs and the bowlers have been inconsistent.
Multan Sultans, on the other hand, is a complete package with all the players performing at their best. We predict a win for Multan Sultans on Thursday.
