In the PSL qualifier, Peshawar Zalmi won the toss and chose to bat first. Both the teams are very well balanced. I think Peshawar's bowling is weak and they should compensate for this by making an extra 20 or 30 runs. If Multan gets the wicket of Babar and Saim early in the inning, things will get difficult for Peshawar because the middle order of Zalmi is not performing up to their potential. If Peshawar gets to a total of 180 or above, they have a chance to win the match comfortably. If Peshawar gets the wickets of Usman Khan and Johnson Charles early, Multan won't be able to chase down the target because of qualifier pressure.
Both teams have strong captains, so it should be an exciting match. The contest will mainly be between Babar Azam and Saim versus Rizwan and Usman. Usman Khan is the key player for Multan Sultans' top order as he has been performing consistently. With his power-hitting, Multan Sultans have a good chance of reaching their 4th PSL final.
Unfortunately, Saim Ayub dismissed early. However, Babar and Haris seem confident. Multan Sultans' bowlers need to stop them early to make control over them.
