Multan Sultans vs Peshawar Zalmi Preview

• Mohammad Rizwan is projected to be Multans’ top scorer in this game.
• Ihsanullah, a 20-year-old tearaway fast bowler who can bowl above 150 km/h, should be avoided.
• Babar Azam is in excellent form and is expected to retake the lead.

 

Mohammad Rizwan’s Multan Sultans will meet Babar Azam’s Peshawar Zalmi in PSL 2023 match 5 on February 17 at the Multan Cricket Stadium.

Multan Sultans enter this match after convincingly defeating the Quetta Gladiators by nine wickets to avenge their first-round loss to the Lahore Qalandars. As one of the competition’s most star-studded teams, the Sultans would like to continue their rising trend.

Peshawar Zalmi showed how well they could manage their nerves in their first match, defeating Karachi Kings by just two runs at home. With the likes of inform Tom Kohler-Cadmore and Babar Azam on their side, the 2017 PSL Champions will be looking for a resounding win in Match 5 to make it two wins in two games.

Multan Sultans vs Peshawar Zalmi Weather Report, Toss Prediction, and Pitch Report

During the contest, the temperature is forecast to range between 28 and 14 degrees. Nonetheless, humidity is expected to reach 58% in Match 5.

Because the pitch hasn’t been used much, both teams will be hoping to put up a big total to take advantage of the little dew that will fall under the lights. The victorious captain’s best bet will be to bowl first.

This pitch will allow the batters to take advantage of the quick bowlers’ pace. On this relatively new course, bowlers may experience some surprising turns and bounces.
