Peshawar Zalmi are still in the playoff mix, and they’ll be eyeing Multan Sultans as the perfect opportunity to keep that flame burning.
Multan’s campaign has completely derailed—seven losses in eight games have dumped them to sixth place, with elimination already confirmed. Their latest collapse came against Karachi Kings, where they were bundled out for a paltry 117 and blown away by 87 runs—a defeat that only compounded their downward spiral.
Peshawar Zalmi, on the other hand, have found some momentum after a sluggish start. After opening the season with two straight defeats, they’ve now stitched together three wins from their last five, and currently sit fifth in the standings. A recent win over Islamabad United has bolstered their playoff chances, and heading into this clash, they’re widely considered the favourites.

Peshawar Zalmi vs Multan Sultans Team News, Probable Playing XI and Key Players
Peshawar Zalmi Team News
Peshawar's batting, meanwhile, is riding high on recent knocks. Babar Azam, ever the steadying influence, continues to guide the innings. He scored a composed 53 off 49 balls last time out. But it was young Maaz Sadaqat who turned heads with a fearless 55 off 33 deliveries, peppered with four boundaries and three maximums. With Saim Ayub, Mohammad Haris, and Tom Kohler-Cadmore offering depth, Zalmi have a top-order that can hurt any bowling attack when it clicks.
Zalmi's bowling unit looked sharper in the last outing. Mohammad Ali impressed with figures of 3 for 26, leading a pace-heavy group featuring Luke Wood, Alzarri Joseph, Mitchell Owen, Ali Raza, and Sufyan Muqeem. Their collective ability to take wickets in clusters has improved, and they’ll need to keep up the pressure against a fragile Multan lineup.

Multan Sultans Team News
Multan will look for one last hurrah, and if anything is to click, it’ll have to start with the bat. Mohammad Rizwan remains their cornerstone, having stacked up 346 runs in eight matches, and he leads the tournament’s run charts for his side. Alongside him, Yasir Khan, Usman Khan, Kamran Ghulam, Iftikhar Ahmed, and Michael Bracewell will need to find form quickly to salvage some pride.
For Multan, Ubaid Shah has been the breakout star with the ball—11 wickets so far for the young pacer. He’s had flashes of brilliance despite the team’s collective struggles. Support will be crucial from Bracewell, Chris Jordan, Curtis Campher, Usama Mir, and David Willey, though none have truly been able to stem the tide when the opposition gets going.
