Multan Sultans’ victory over Peshawar Zalmi helped their position in top PSL standings.
Last Thursday, Multan Sultans defeated Peshawar Zalmi by 42 runs at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore in a Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2022 match. Multan Sultans were able to maintain their lead in the PSL standings with this victory. Multan Sultans defeated Peshawar Zalmi by 57 runs in the previous meeting between the two teams. Mohammad Rizwan, a Pakistan wicketkeeper-batter, leads the Multan Sultans, while Wahab Riaz, a veteran fast bowler, leads the Peshawar Zalmi. Multan Sultans are in first place with six victories out of six games, while Peshawar Zalmi are in 5th position with two victories out of six games.

Blessing Muzarabani dealt Peshawar Zalmi a couple of knocks in the second over, removing the openers for a cheap price. Multan Sultans were put under pressure for a short time, 24 balls to be precise, when Liam Livingstone and Shoaib Malik planned to attack. They have missed receptions, but they've been in such good shape that Lady Luck seems to favour them. The chase took a turn for the worst as soon as Liam was sent packing. Malik lingered for a while before deciding to take care of the asking price. He was convinced that he had failed, and after that, it was all one-way traffic. The Sultans cruised to victory thanks to Muzarabani's three-run homer.

Shan Masood was named “The Player of the Match”! Multan's opener feels that being named to the Test squad has given him confidence, adding that as a player, he simply tries to follow the process. He also mentions that he's been a little clearer in his thoughts and reactions to the situation. The pitch initially appeared to be a belter, but it turned out to be problematic as the bowlers bowled wicket-to-wicket. They got a nice total, and their bowlers did a good job of defending it.

The winning captain of the Multan Sultans, Mohammad Rizwan, says that while they did drop catches, they were determined and supported each other. The skipper applauded Khushdil Shah's effort and believes he has the potential to develop into a good all-rounder. He went on to say that he wants his squad to progress on the pitch and that he is looking forward to providing the bench players more opportunities.
