Within 24 hours after defeating Karachi Kings, Peshawar Zalmi will be back on the field facing Multan Sultans in Match No. 13 of the ongoing Pakistan Super League (PSL) on Saturday. It is the second game of the double-header and a clear chance to carry on the winning momentum for the Zalmi.

Peshawar had a near-perfect game last night with a collective performance from their top five. Shoaib Malik top-scored with an unbeaten 52 off 28 balls as the side posted 173 runs on the board. Their bowlers then defended the total well despite Karachi skipper Babar Azam fighting until the end of the innings.

Peshawar won by nine runs in the end thanks to Mohammad Umar's stunning spell of 3/22. With this win, they have climbed to the fourth position in the points table and will be keen on climbing up the ladder.

Multan Sultans, on the other hand, are playing after a break of a couple of days and are also sitting pretty at the top of the points table. They have won all four of their matches thus far and have shown skill while batting first and bowling first both. The Mohammad Rizwan-led side look like the team to beat and the Zalmi certainly have a tough task ahead of them.

Given the way the trend has changed in the last few matches, captains shouldn’t mind batting first irrespective of the outcome of the toss.
