PSL 5: Match 27 We’re in the fag end of this tournament, and every game out of here will be enormous in the context of the game play. Even though Multan Sultans have qualified and are hanging at the Peak of the table, each of the other five groups still has a chance of making it into the top. Peshawar Zalmi is one of the very best ones to create it into the playoffs.
Multan Sultans last missing a match back on February 22. Ever since that time, they have had four wins and two washouts. Moreover, they have been notable in the manner in which they have played have run throughout the competitions also.
Meanwhile, the Peshawar Zalmi are inconsistent during this year. They have lost and won alternately in multiple cases. In their past four games, they have won two and lost two. Regardless of the batsmen getting big scores occasionally, the bowling has failed to guard the dent, such as the previous match in which they neglected to shield 187. Hence, Peshawar should step up and increase their game within this must-win circumstance.
