Pakistan Super League 2023, Match 5, Multan Sultans vs Peshawar Zalmi: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, and Live Streaming Details

Multan Sultans and Peshawar Zalmi will lock horns in the fifth game of the Pakistan Super League on Friday (February 17) at the Multan Cricket Stadium.

The Sultans, led by Mohammad Rizwan, started their campaign with a heartbreaking one-run defeat to Shaheen Shah Afridi’s Lahore Qalandars. However, they made a stupendous comeback by handing Sarfaraz Ahmed’s Quetta Gladiators a crushing 70-run defeat on Wednesday (February 15).

Ihsanullah picked up a five-wicket haul and also bowled the fastest spell in PSL history by breaking Haris Rauf’s record. After restricting their opponents to 110 in 18.5 overs, the Sultans chased down the target with a whopping 39 deliveries to spare.

Meanwhile, the Zalmi, led by Babar Azam, began their campaign with a two-run win over Karachi Kings on Tuesday (February 14). The game went right down to the wire. Imad Wasim (80*) and Shoaib Malik (52) tried their hearts out to take the Kings home, but they fell tantalisingly short.

Khurram Shahzad and Wahab Riaz held their nerve in the last two overs to give the Zalmi their maiden win of the season. Tom Kohler-Cadmore was the Player of the Match for his 92 off 50. Babar also impressed on his debut for the Zalmi with 68 off 46.
