Peshawar Zalmi vs Multan Sultans – Players to Watch
Shoaib Malik
The Pakistan veteran is still going strong in his cricket career and is currently one of the top scorers in the tournament with 132 runs from 4 games at an average of 66. In the last game against the Karachi Kings, Malik scored a quick 52 from 28 deliveries. He is a reliable batsman despite his age and he would be an excellent pick for your fantasy lineup.
Shan Masood
The 32-year-old from Pakistan has been in imperious form this season with the bat and we expect him to keep piling those runs. He typically opens the innings for the Multan Sultans and so far in the tournament, he has amassed 240 runs from four games and is currently the second-highest run-scorer in the tournament by just a gap of 8 runs. We fully expect him to play an explosive inning in the upcoming game.
Mohammad Umar
Umar played his first game this season for the Peshawar side and he surely hit the ground running with a 3 wicket haul while conceding only 22 runs in his 4 overs. He definitely set a great first impression and we expect to see him getting backed with a few more games.
Imran Tahir
The veteran bowler still has bite in his bowling and with 7 wickets from four games, he is currently the second-highest wicket-taker in the tournament. He is a crafty player and we know for sure that he can create an impact in the upcoming game as well.
