Multan Sultans qualified for the knockout stage after their win in Match 19 and then suffered two narrow defeats against Islamabad United and Peshawar Zalmi. However, they were back to their best with a comprehensive win to end the group stage. Peshawar Zalmi come into this Qualifier after wins over Multan Sultans, Quetta Gladiators and Karachi Kings from their last three matches. They have built up a good amount of momentum.

Peshawar Zalmi’s campaign has started poorly, and they couldn’t have asked for a tougher opponent in this match! Multan Sultans have already won three games, and Mohammad Rizwan, last year’s leading run scorer, is back in top form. We expect Peshawar Zalmi to improve on their previous performances in the competition, but we believe Multan Sultans will win.Considering the team combination, Multan Sultans is expected to win this match.
