In the 16th match of the PSL 2022, Multan Sultans and Peshawar Zalmi will face off once more. On February 5, they faced each other for the first time, and Multan won by 57 runs. Multan is the only team in the competition that has not lost a game and is currently on top of the points table.
After winning two of their five matches, Peshawar is in 5th place in the tournament. The team has lost two of its last three games and is desperate for a win.
Weather
Clear skies will greet the two sides. Lahore is forecast to have temperatures ranging from 15~20°C.
Pitch
The Gaddafi Stadium pitch is a well-balanced surface. After the hitters have been set, they are free to play their strokes. Bowlers must be at their best when bowling on this surface because it is conducive to batting under lights.

Peshawar Zalmi has struggled in this season’s competition, but the break between games in Karachi and Lahore may have helped them. We expect this game to be closer than the last time these two teams met, but we expect Multan Sultans to win again.
