Multan Sultans, Peshawar Zalmi face off in PSL 6 final

This is the first time the Rizwan-led side is in the Finals of the Pakistan Super League. Both the teams out-performed in the Group matches and the Eliminator matches. Multan from being at the bottom of the table qualified for the finals by springing back as the Abu Dhabi leg started. The Zalmi side has been four-time finalists who surely seem strong and adamant to win the Final of the PSL6.

Shan Masood, Sohaib Maqsood, Mohammad Rizwan, Khushdil Shah, and Johnson Charles are in the best form for Multan Sultans. Whereas Peshawar Zalmi will have to rely on Shoaib Malik and the run machine Zazai.

The Greenside defeated Islamabad United in the Qualifier match to may their way straight to the finals by just 31 runs. On the other hand, the yellow storm defeated former champions Karachi and two-time champion Islamabad United to cruise their way to the finals.

Multan, coached by former Zimbabwe skipper Andy Flower, registered four successive wins in Abu Dhabi before losing the final league game against United. But it did not affect their position as they finished second due to better net run-rate despite having finished with ten points along with Zalmi and Kings.

Shahnawaz Dhani, Imran Khan Senior, Sohail Tanvir, Blessing Muzarabani, and Imran Tahir make a very lethal bowling combination that can put even the best PSL batting side in trouble on any day, at any given pitch.

“We are fully prepared. We will put in our best effort and will pray to God Almighty for the desired result,” Rizwan told a news conference on Wednesday.

The skipper said his team had prepared plans for the opposition, adding that getting Zazai in the early overs will be the key to an easy victory.

The Final encounter is to start at 9 pm (PST) as both the teams will play for the PSL6 Trophy.
