Both these teams, Multan Sultans and Peshawar Zalmi, have had a forgettable season so far. They have played two games each and have lost both. Peshawar also has the worst net run rate in the points table. These are the only sides that have failed to register a single win so far. So, one thing is certain: one of the teams will be getting on the board in the points tally.
Having listed the misfortunes of these teams, there are some in-form players in the ranks of both teams. With the bat, we have Babar Azam, Usman Khan, and Mohammad Rizwan, who are doing well in recent games for their respective teams. Multan Sultans have Usama Mir and David Willey on the bowling front with reasonable strike rates. The Peshawar bowling, on the other hand, has struggled with none of the bowlers except the all-rounder Saim Ayub showing enough resilience.

There are no injuries to report from either squad
The surface at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium is likely to turn and grip, especially in the latter half of a contest. Including spinners in your Dream11 team for this contest might be a good idea. There is a distinct possibility of showers coming down during the encounter. This might bring the D/L equation into the picture.
The choice for the Dream11 team wicketkeeper lies between Mohammad Rizwan and Mohammad Haris. However, Mohammad Rizwan is a more accomplished batter, as he has proved in the competition. He has 209 fantasy points, which is more than Mohammad Haris, who has 152 points.
Mohammad Rizwan and Mohammad Haris also lead the batting charts for their teams. With 143 runs, Rizwan leads the fantasy points, with Mohammad Haris close on his heels with 100 runs. Some other top batters to complete the batters list include Babar Azam, Usman Khan, and Saim Ayub.
M Bracewell is the all-rounder to watch out for in this contest. He has 181 fantasy points. Other all-rounders to keep an eye on include M Owen, C Jordon, and I Ahmed. H Talat has also collected 166 points and is a top candidate to emerge as the top all-rounder.
A Javed, I will be the top contender for this contest to emerge as the top bowler. He has 122 fantasy points in his kitty. A Joseph with 108 points is another contender for the top bowlers' charts. Other bowlers who might have a place in the side include U Mir and David Willey.
Mohammad Rizwan has both been in top form, with the bat doing well. This is a close call, but we think Mohammad Rizwan is the way to go for this contest.
With his all-around capabilities, we reckon Saim Ayub will significantly help the skipper as a vice-captain.
Both these teams are off to a poor start to their campaign in this tournament. But if you look closely at their composition, you will find that the Multan Sultans have a better man-to-man combination. They are more likely to lift their game through this better talent pool.
The fantasy points list is led by Mohammad Rizwan, who has 209 points.
Rizwan also leads the batting charge with 143 runs in his last two innings. He is followed by Mohammed Haris (100 runs) and Michael Bracewell (66 runs).
Alzarri Joseph leads the bowling charts with three victims, followed by Usma Mir and Hossain Talat, who each have two wickets.
The list for the most sixes in the competition is led by Mohammad Rizwan, who has six sixes. He is followed by Michael Owen with five sixes and Michael Bracewell with four.
The Sultans’ all-rounder, Michael Bracewell, currently has the best strike rate of 232.22. Michael Owen follows with 205, and Mohammad Haris with 181.82.
In this match-up, Usama Mir has the best strike rate of 7.63. He is followed by Ubaid Shah with 9.25 and Saim Ayub with 9.75.
