Peshawar Zalmi will lock horns against Multan Sultans in the 27th match of the ongoing Pakistan Super League at the Pindi Club Ground, Rawalpindi on Friday. Both teams have won four out of the eight games they have played in the ongoing ninth season of the PSL.

The team that will win this contest will qualify for the playoff stages and thus both of them will want to come up with their best.

Peshawar Zalmi was blown away by Jason Roy in their previous game as the England batter scored 145 runs to help Quetta Gladiators chase down 241 runs. Thus, the Babar Azam-led team will want to come up with a better bowling performance.

Meanwhile, Multan Sultans had won four games on the bounce but they have veered off the track as they lost their previous three matches. Ergo, the Mohammad Rizwan-led team will want to get back to winning ways.

When these two teams had met earlier in the season, Multan Sultans had won comprehensively by 56 runs.

Match Prediction: Multan Sultans might enter the contest as favorites against Peshawar Zalmi.
