The last over was a thriller and Naveen-ul-haq was lucky to get Iftikhar out on fifth ball otherwise results would be very different. 21 runs were required in last over and Iftikhar scored 16 runs on first four balls of that crucial over.
It was first loss for MS in this PSL and first win for PZ. Babar Azam immigrated from KK to PZ but wasn't able to produce good results as a captain so far.

It's a Fantastic match till the last ball not sure which team win this match. In the end Peshawar Zalmi won by 5 runs. Multan Sultans only scored 174 runs all out in 20 overs. In the last over Ifthkar Ahmad batted and needed 22 runs from 6 balls and he hit 2 fours and a six but after the wicket of Ifthkar Ahmad, the match was gone to the hands of Multan sultan.  Shahnawaz Dahani last bastem of Multan Sultans and needed a six to win but didn't happen and get out. The Player of the Match from Peshawar zalmi is  Luke Wood for his outstanding all round batting and bowling performance picked 2 important wickets by just giving only 13 runs amazing bowling luke also he scored some crusial runs for his team to win this match.

What a game of cricket we all witnessed an absolute thriller The way CHACHUU played just short of 1 big hit. Overall good effort from PZ bowlers. It was a good display of cricket from both sides, underdogs PZ won the match by 6 runs at the end and Entered their 1st victory in PSL 9 this victory helps a lot to boost up their morale in upcoming games.

In Pakistan Super League competition, 9th match of this competition is being ongoing on crease which was among Multan Sultan squad against Peshawar Zalmi squad and now match is currently in its last moments and both squads have equal possibility for emerging victory. Peshawar Zalmi squad already completed their batting inning and also they gave a good challenge defeating target and Multan Sultan squad faced difficulties for achieving this 179 scores defending target. Right this moment, Multan Sultan squad needs 22 scores off 1 overs and they already played 19 overs and collected 158 scores and they also have not any good batter wickets behind. Iftikhar Ahmed and Mohammad Ali is currently batting on crease. I feel that Peshawar Zalmi will emerge victory in this match and they also highly possibility for winning. Lets see who will conquer this match.

Multan Sultans needs 36 runs from 20 balls to win this match. Multan Sultans current score is 144 runs in loss of 5 wickets in 16.4 over of the match. Peshawar zalmi after winning the toss decided to bat first that a good decision and they set a big total of 179 runs in loss of 8 wickets against Multan Sultan. Barbar Azam and Haseebullah Khan both players played well and scored a good partnership Babar Azam scored 32 and Haseebullah Khan played an amazing inning of 37 runs. Now multan sultan lost his 6th wickets of Usma Mir by scoring 12 runs in 3 balla. Usma mir hit 2 conservative sixs and in 3rd ball get out by the ball of Arif Yaqoob. Peshawar zalmi is more chance to win this match

Peshawar Zalmi vs Multan Sultan in the ninth match of Pakistan Super League. In today's match, Peshawar Zalmi won the toss and batted first to finish the game in 20 overs, giving Multan Sultan a target of 180 runs. In today's match, the bowlers of Multan Sultan team could not play a strong role in bowling. If Multan Sultan's bowlers could have strengthened the bowling side, Peshawar Zalmi would have been restricted to a smaller score. But I think batsmen of Multan Sultan team have enough ability to meet the target of 180 runs given by Peshawar Zalmi in today's match. Multan Sultan team players are more experienced and stronger than Peshawar Zalmi players. So I believe Multan Sultan team players will be able to fulfill the target of today's match and grab full points.

Multan Sultan are now batting to meet the target of 180 runs in the second innings. Having lost 2 wickets to bat, Multan Sultan is under a bit of pressure. I hope the batsmen of Multan Sultan team can easily overcome this pressure by using their strategy. Multan Sultan team has collected 88 runs by losing 2 wickets in 11.4 overs so far.

Peshawar zalmi won the toss and elected batting. Peshawar zalmi batsman makes 12 run in 2 over and Multan sultan no any wicket against Peshawar zalmi batsman. This is the good started for Peshawar zalmi batsman. Multan sultan bowler out the Peshawar zalmi batsman in the fivth ball of the 4 over. This is the first achievement for Multan sultan team. Once time again Multan sultan bowler out the Peshawar zalmi batsman in the third ball of the 9 over. This is the second achievement for Multan sultan team. Peshawar zalmi batsman makes 85 run in 10 over and 2 outs. The next ball Multan sultan bowler again out the Peshawar zalmi batsman. This is the third achievement for Multan sultan team. Now let's see how much the Peshawar batsmen give and Multan batsmen can fulfill it or not.

Today Babar Azam didn't play as well as we expected with him but it's part of the game. Sometimes, do very well, sometimes good, sometimes normal, and, sometimes poor so it's part of the game and today he did average runs.

Babar Azam was out by Usama Mir when Babar Azam was batting on 31 but Babar Azam couldn't face his ball and was out early. According to the current situation, Peshawar Zalmi is going to lose but let's hope that they will win, Peshawar hasn't won any match but maybe today is the day whee they are going to break their loses and win today but the current situation is not good. It's cricket anything can happen. Let' see how this match turns up.

Peshawar Zalmi batting early they performed well, but Siyam Ayub did not perform well. In that case Multan Sultan has done very well in terms of bowling performance today. So far Peshawar Zalmi team has scored 94 runs in 11 overs for a wicket. Thus, if the players of Peshawar Zalmi team collect runs, then Multan Sultan can definitely be defeated. Here Multan Sultan team is not able to perform well in terms of bowling today.

Peshawar Zalmi and Multan Sultan take on each other today at Multan Cricket Stadium. Both teams can win and if Peshawar wins, it will be for the first time at in this season of PSL that the Peshawar Zalmi team will win. Today is the day when we will see Babar Azam vs all Multan Sultan's bowlers.

As you know, Babar Azam achieved 10,000 runs in the lowest innings and he broke it at the age of 29, It's a record that the batsmen like Chris Gayle made it at 35 plus age. He became the second Pakistani player to become a player who make 10,000 runs in T20 and the previous matches of PSL where Babar Azam is playing so as we know Babar Azam always hit at least hit 50.

Match 9 Peshawar Zalmi vs Multan Sultan
PZ is totally out of form and eager to win this game and open their points on the PSL table and the other side MS wins the 1st 3 games they played so far.
I think PZ relies on their batting which fails continuously apart from THE KING. They are also lacking in Bowling which affects them a lot in this season.
MS is a very good side with Hitter batters, all-rounders, spin, and a fast attack from the bowling side and continues 3 wins put them ahead of PZ in today's cracker at Multan stadium.

What are your thoughts on Today's match and who will win today?
1 MS
2 PZ

My vote goes in favor of MS.

Yes, Islamabad batsmen played an unpredictable game in this match. I think Islamabad's three-wicket loss against Quetta Gladiators in this match was due to their poor batting. Islamabad's batsmen can never escape the responsibility of losing this match.  The fact that none of the Islamabad batsmen could score 33+ is a big shame for Islamabad. I "placed" the bet for Islamabad in this match. Due to Islamabad's poor performance I lost this bet and lost a lot of money in the bet. However, in this match Islamabad's batsmen did not perform well, but the performance of the bowlers was quite good. Islamabad could have easily won this match if the Islamabad batsmen could have given a big target to Quetta Gladiators.

Quetta Gladiators remain unbeaten after playing there first three matches of PSL. Multan Sultan is the second one to have an unbeaten record so far. It's a good move by QG management to replace Sarfraz with Rilee Rossouw as captain. Sarfraz as a batsmen hasn't given an impressive performance so far and it looks like this is best time for Sarfraz to take retirement. This year he is axed as  captain and if he keep playing like that then next he will be axed from the team. 

Quetta Gladiators is one of the most favorite teams in this year's PSL, but in today's match, it seemed that Islamabad United will give a target of more than 190 runs in today's match, but after the fall of the second wicket for 69 runs, Islamabad United could not increase their score much. Losing wickets regularly and consistently, Islamabad United declared the end of the innings for just 138 runs, but one of the best players of the team, Shadab Khan, collected only two runs and did not perform much with the ball. Quetta Gladiators are batting at a target of 139 runs and till the last report they need only 20 more runs to win which they will easily collect.

The batsmen of Islamabad did not work hard and did not perform well.  And only gave a target of 138 that too in an innings of 20 overs.  They should have given a target of 200, maybe they could have won.  But now there is full hope that they will lose this match.The batsmen of Islamabad did not play today's match with any interest and did not give such a difficult target that they hope that we can win the match today.The Quetta bowler bowled very well and took a very easy target and took 9 wickets.  And his performance was very good.  Now let's see the result who will win the match and who won't.  I really hope that Quetta team will win today's match.The match is still going on.  Quetta need 45 runs off 41 balls to win.

Quetta Gladiators did a great job limiting Islamabad United to just 138 runs in their 20 overs. Shadab Khan didn't make any big plays tonight. The Gladiators' bowlers were outstanding, so now it's up to their batters to chase down this total. Quetta seems to have a well-rounded squad this year, with strong bowling and batting units. btw! it looks like an easy chase for Quetta against Islamabad.

Pollard is a wonderful player against a very good spinner of Afghanistan Waqar Salamkheil, he hit 5 sixes almost he was just hit 6 sixes in 6 balls, and if he hit like this it could be the first time at PSL that a player hit 6 sixes in 6 balls.

Waqar Salamkheil is not too good bowler but at the same time, it's a spinner and this pitch was also good for spinners. In the spinner pitch, Pollard hit 5 sixes back to back to spinner, and with him Vince got a partner so he also hit some sixes after inspiring by Pollard. Yesterday with the wonderful batting Peshawar Zalmi still didn't do anything but hope in the upcoming matches Zalmi team performance will be back as 2017.

Karachi King's team had a bit of luck in that they achieved a win against Peshawar Zalmi, I think they had a problem with their batting and bowling because if you see bowling so still 4 overs were left then Karachi won but if there is another team so maybe the bowling went more harsh. So I think they should need to change their playing 11 as they can replace Cadmore and in the replacement of Cadmore HaseebUllha can come while in bowling if they replace Waqar Salamkheil and inside Arshad Iqbal in the playing 11s it will be great. I know Waqar Salamkheil took a wicket but he also got 5 sixes in a single over.

Eighth match of Pakistan Super league competition is ongoing on crease which is among Islamabad United squad against Quetta Gladiator squad and toss already done between them and Islamabad United squad has begun this match first batting Inning by calling of Quetta Gladiator squad. Islamabad United squad lost one batter wickets after playing 5.3 overs and collected 56 scores. Alex Hales wicket was gone down at 16 scores and Mohammed Hasnain Queatta Gladiator squad bowler picked his wicket. Agha Salman and Colin Munro  these batters is still on crease and I think both made good partnerships and collect much scores. Agha Salman displayed significant performance in previous matches against different squads and hope he will also played good inning in this match. Muhammad Amir Bowled two overs and he did not pick any wicket in these overs. Predicting which sqaud will emerge victory is difficult based on current situation.


I selected Islamabad United squad.

Quetta Gladiators won the toss and they decided to ball first. It's a very good decision by them because a bowler like Amirr who won India at the 2009 World Cup and the 2017 Champions trophy, and Wasim Jr is also very excellent, and when they will come to bat in the second innings if there will pressure so the early batsmen will out and then most of the people's favorite Khawaja Nafay will come and he can calm down all the situation, but I don't think so that the openers will be out early by Gladiators with pressure because Saud Shakeel and Jason Roy performance were so good in the last previous matches.

Islamabad United need to score runs near to 200 as the wicket will ease down as the match progresses and we have seen the batting become more easy with some dew factor coming into play.

After some minutes, the toss is going to be held at Lahore. I think any team will win the toss so they will choose to Ball first because  Quetta Gladiators has M.Amir, Wasim Jr, and M.Hasnain which makes them more strong and best team. These three are the players who enable  Quetta Gladiators to become again Prime-Quetta Gladiators while Islamabad United have Naseem Shah and total three Shah's who can make the opponent team all out in just a few overs. Also, they had good all rounders while Quetta have Nafey. This competition is going to be next level because both teams had the best players. If  Quetta Gladiators has Nafey so Islamabad has Azam Khan. So, it is a competition that we will see at today's match in Lahore.



I will go with Quetta Gladiators as they have won their previous matches and are on the 2nd on the table, but they haven't lost any match. Multan Sultan also has not lost any match but since they played three matches, they have 6 points on the table and are on the top of the table.
