Cricket Free Tips | PSL 2021, Final: Multan Sultans vs Peshawar Zalmi

This year, the Pakistan Super League featured a fantastic story of two teams coming from behind to reach the tournament’s final. Multan Sultans qualified for the eliminator based on run rate; however, they could defeat Islamabad United, who had won their previous five matches. Thus, Multan will be competing in their first final in the PSL.

Peshawar Zalmi, on the other hand, had to qualify for the final by defeating two clubs in the playoffs, and they did so in style. In Eliminator 2, they strategically chased down Islamabad’s total set. The eight-wicket victory will undoubtedly increase their confidence ahead of the final.

Weather

The PSL 2021 final will take place in hot weather. The temperature is expected to be approximately 34 degrees Celsius, with a 67~70% humidity level. The wind will be blowing between 12~14 km/h.

Pitch

The pitch is a good one to bat on, as evidenced in past PSL 2021 knockout games, with the pacers predicted to get some swing and bounce off the surface. The batsmen will attempt to take the assault to the bowlers, despite the pacers’ ability to get the ball to talk early. The spinners will come into play in the middle overs, with the batters aiming for the straighter boundaries. Both teams will bat first, with a total of 170 proving to be a competitive total at the location.
