Multan Sultans will lock horns with Peshawar Zalmi in the Match 21 of the Pakistan Super League 2021 at Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi, on Sunday, 13 June.
With four wins and three defeats, Peshawar are placed third in the points table, while the Sultans find themselves just above the bottom-placed Quetta Gladiators. Both teams are coming to the clash on the back of convincing victories.
Imran Khan and Imran Tahir shared five wickets to guide Multan Sultans to a 12-run win over Babar Azam’s Karachi Kings. Although they have enough firepower in their batting, missing James Vince for the UAE leg has been a big blow to the side. Rahmanullah Gurbaz, who came in for Vince, failed to impress in the last match.
Peshawar, on the other hand, put on an all-round show to outclass Quetta in their last fixture. David Miller stole the show with a scintillating with a 46-ball 73, and Rovman Powell (43 off 19) too played a powerful cameo to propel Peshawar to an imposing total of 197. The Gladiators were then restricted to 136/9.
Head to Head
Multan Sultans have won four games, while Peshawar Zalmi has won three.
