PSL 2023: Match 27, PES vs MUL Match Prediction – Who will win today’s PSL match between PES vs MUL?

After losing to Quetta Gladiators in their last match, Peshawar Zalmi are in a tight spot at the moment, just like their opponent for Friday, Multan Sultans. Both teams have eight points on board after eight games and thus, cannot afford to lose a match as the Gladiators are right behind them on the points table. So, when these two teams meet each other in the ongoing Pakistan Super League on March 10, there will be tension in both camps but they need to overcome that in order to get the job done.

Notably, the Babar Azam-led side was brilliant with the bat in the last match. Skipper himself smashed a brilliant century (115 off 65) while his opening partner Saim Ayub hit 74 off just 34 deliveries. Rovman Powell later played a sensational cameo of 35 off 18 deliveries as Zalmi posted 240 runs on board after 20 overs. Now, even though they were phenomenal with the bat, the team was equally bad with the ball. Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Wahab Riaz picked up one wicket each but they need to improve massively to tackle the Sultans in the next match.

Now when it comes to the Mohammad Rizwan-led side, the Sultans have failed to win any of their last three games. Their batting looked average throughout the course of the tournament but in the last match, the bowlers looked pale as well. Shan Masood and Tim David smacked well for the side but all the bowlers leaked more than eight runs per over as the Sultans suffered a two-wicket defeat at the hands of Islamabad United. Like Zalmi, they need to improve massively with the ball, otherwise, it’s going to be a tough time for the side going ahead.
