PZ vs MS Dream11 Prediction Today | Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing XI, Pitch Report – PSL 2025, 9th Match

Written by: Chirag Naiknavare • 17.04.2025

Match Preview

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.

Pitch Report & Weather Conditions

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.

PZ vs MS Dream11 Top Picks

Wicketkeeper

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.

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.

PZ vs MS Captain and Vice-Captain Choices

Captain

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.

Vice-Captain

With his all-around capabilities, we reckon Saim Ayub will significantly help the skipper as a vice-captain.
