Peshawar Zalmi won this match after a very close fight winning by 4 runs against Multan Sultans. While chasing down the target Multan Sultans only managed to score 200 runs in loss of 5 wickets in 20 overs of the second inning of the match and just lost the match by 4 runs short of the target. The Player of the Match is Babar Azam for his outstanding batting performance scored an important 64 runs for his team. Iftikhar Ahmed batted well at the end and scored 60 runs unbeaten from just 27 balls but failed to chase down the target.
Yesterday's match was won by Peshawar Zalmi but still, we can see some problems in their team, First of all, the captain Babar Azam did a good thing to take HaseebUllah in the playing 11 but at the same time, he made a mistake which was he decided that HaseebUllah will come to play and Haris will out. Muhammad Haris' performance is average in this PSL, he should out Cadmore off their playing 11 because Cadmore's performance from the start of the PSL was not in order. Cadmore played yesterday's match with a strike rate of just 55 score, he is an ODI or Test player, I don't think that he needs to play PSL, and this thing should be realized by Akif Javed (The owner of the Peshawar Zalmi franchise).
In yesterday game of PSL series, this game of this series was ended successfully and in between both teams this game was very tight and full of exciting. Peshawar Zalmi team set a very big target of 204 runs by losing 5 wickets in 20 overs and this was the 4 th win of Peshawar Zalmi team and now Peshawar Zalmi team also have a great chance to qualify in semi final game. Multan Sultan team did not chase down this target and lost this game by 4 runs only. B.azam got a player of game award due brilliant batting lineup effort. He scored 64 runs in 40 balls with seven 4s and two 6s. A.Jamal also took down 2 wickets in 4 overs with 36 runs. Congratulations Peshawar Zalmi team and today also very good and important game will play.
Peshawar Zalmi won the match while struggling, not at batting as they gave a very good target of 205 runs but at the same time, Multan Sultans also made more than 199, so the match in the end went too difficult and at that time, anything can be happen even Zalmi's can be lost but they won.
However, the noticeable thing is that they had to face a lot of difficulties with this performance, and I was shocked that why Arif Yaqoob was not playing who did the best six balls in the history of PSL against Islamabad United some days before. In the last match, he didn't take any wickets so he dropped from the team.
