Kamran Akmal
After facing controversy early in the tournament and after the draft, Kamran Akmal is back. He is up at the top of the order again, and Akmal has announced his arrival with a vintage performance, bringing his aggression upfront. Akmal is a very famous face in Pakistan, and his return will please many as the wicket-keeper looks to find runs and move forward in the tournament.
Tim David
Tim David is a tall and explosive batter. He has made a name for himself through his finishing abilities and is getting into his own in the tournament. He is very consistent at the back end of an innings and with David, back in form, some big hits can be expected.
With the English players slowly trickling back to the PSL after national duty the likes of Liam Livingstone could come into the Zalmi side Sultans however may go unchanged as the eleven on hand seems to be working well for them.
With strong players on both sides, it is tough to pick a winner. The return of Livingstone and Akmal along with the form of Haider Ali and Shoaib Malik should promise a thrilling reply to the strength of the Sultans. Sultans have their own share of in-form players and are in red hot form with four wins in a row.
With the likes of Rizwan and David going strong, and good support behind them they have just as much chance of getting a fifth victory. With some strong and in-form players on both sides, the Peshawar Zalmi Vs Multan Sultans game is likely to be a thriller with Sultan having a slight edge over Zalmi due to their recent form.
Match Prediction: Multan Sultans to win the match.
