Peshawar Zalmi will look to cement their semifinals’ place with a win over Multan Sultans. The two sides are scheduled to lock horns today at the National Stadium Karachi.
In the last encounter, Multan outplayed Peshawar Zalmi to register a thumping win. It was a magnificent bowling display from Sultans with all five bowlers among the wickets. However, the left-arm pacer, Sohail Tanvir, was the pick of the lot, with four wickets for just 13 runs.
This time around, it could be a different ball game as this game will pretty much decide Zalmi’s future in the league. Meanwhile, Sultans, who have already qualified for the semis, will have a chance to test their bench strength.
With this said, let’s now take a look at all the related information about today’s PSL 2020 fixture.
