Betting Tips

Peshawar Zalmi to win the toss

1.909

Peshawar has won the toss in 3 of its last 4 outings, while Multan has managed to win just once during the same time. Looking at the luck that Peshawar has enjoyed, it makes good sense to back them for the toss.

Stake

Babar Azam to be the top batsman for Peshawar

3.10

Babar Azam is in excellent form this season and is also the leading run-scorer. He has been the top batsman for Peshawar in 4 of its last 5 matches. With the kinds of odds that are on offer, it is a no-brainer to back him.

Usama Mir to be the top bowler of the match

6.50

Usama Mir is the leading wicket-taker of this season with 21 wickets. He has picked up at least 2 wickets in 4 of his last 5 outings and was the top bowler of the match in each of those 4 matches. As the pitch in Karachi does help the spinners, we can expect plenty of wickets for him.

The Multan Sultans will take on Peshawar Zalmi in Qualifier 1 on Thursday in the ongoing PSL. The winner of this match will gain a direct entry into Monday’s finals, while the loser will face either Islamabad United or Quetta Gladiators in Eliminator 2 on Saturday.

Both teams have played 15 matches against each other to date. The Multan Sultans have won 10 of those matches, while Peshawar has won 5.

MS vs PZ Team Previews

Multan Sultans

With 7 wins in 10 matches, the Multan Sultans are the most consistent team this season and finished the group stage at the top of the points table.

The Multan Sultans have performed well on all fronts. The batting is one of the strongest in the league thanks to the presence of batsmen like Mohammad Rizwan, Usman Khan, and Johnson Charles. Rizwan is the leading run-scorer for the team with 366 runs and has scored 4 half-centuries this season, including one in the last match.

Johnson Charles has played only 2 matches and has scored 95 runs. However, some of the other batsmen, including Yasir Shah, Iftikhar Ahmed, and Tayyab Tahir haven’t been consistent enough. Coming to the bowling, Usama Mir and Mohammad Ali are two of the leading wicket-takers of the season with 21 and 17 wickets respectively.

They have received excellent support from David Willey and Abbas Afridi, making Multan one of the strongest bowling units in the league. 

Multan Sultans Expected Playing 11

  • Mohammad Rizwan
  • Yasir Khan
  • Usman Khan
  • Johnson Charles
  • Iftikhar Ahmed
  • Khushdil Shah
  • Chris Jordan
  • David Willey
  • Usama Mir
  • Abbas Afridi
  • Mohammad Ali

Peshawar Zalmi

After losing the first two matches of the season, Peshawar Zalmi came back strongly and won 6 of their last 7 matches. As a result, they ended up in second place on the points table.

Babar Azam, who is in sublime form, has led his team from the front and scored 498 runs this season at an average of 62.25. His knocks include 5 half-centuries and a century. He has been supported well by his opening partner, Saim Ayub, and together they will look to give Peshawar a strong start.

While there are plenty of experienced batsmen in the middle order thanks to the presence of batsmen like Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Mohammad Haris, and Rovman Powell, they haven’t been consistent enough and that could be a cause for concern for the team.

The bowling has been a bit inconsistent too. Luke Wood and Naveen Ul-Haq, who will lead the attack with the new ball, have picked up only 20 wickets between them, while Aamer Jamal, Mehran Mumtaz, and Saim Ayub have often failed to keep up the pressure during the middle overs. 

Peshawar Zalmi Expected Playing 11

  • Saim Ayub
  • Babar Azam
  • Mohammad Haris
  • Haseebullah Khan
  • Tom Kohler Cadmore
  • Rovman Powell
  • Paul Walter
  • Aamer Jamal
  • Mehran Mumtaz
  • Luke Wood
  • Salman Irshad

MS vs PZ Toss Prediction

The team winning the toss will likely opt to bat first. 

Pitch and Conditions

The pitch in Karachi is well-balanced. The seamers will get some help early on in the match as there is a good amount of pace and bounce on offer. The batsmen will need to be a bit careful when they select their shots. Things will improve for them once the ball gets older.

The average first-inning score on this ground is around 180. The pitch will offer some turn to the spinners, especially during the second half.

The weather will be clear and pleasant with temperatures below 25 degrees.

MS vs PZ Betting Tips

Multan and Peshawar are two of the strongest teams this season and that is why they have finished as the top two on the points table. We can expect a closely-fought match as both teams look to make it to the finals. We think that the Multan Sultans have an edge here thanks to a strong batting line-up and a well-balanced bowling attack.

Bet on the Multan Sultans to win.
