Multan Sultans vs Peshawar Zalmi Match Prediction, PSL 2020
Peshawar Zalmi will look to make it two wins in a row when they take on Multan Sultans as the Pakistan Super League 2020 moves to Multan. Both teams have won one and lost one so far, and go head-to-head at the Multan Cricket Stadium on February 26. The live action starts at 19:00 local time.
Zalmi bounced back from defeat to Karachi Kings in their high-scoring opening game as Kamran Akmal’s century led them to victory against Quetta Gladiators, the defending champions.
Multan Sultans, meanwhile, beat Lahore Qalandars first up but Zeeshan Ashraf’s half-century was not enough last time out as they suffered a heavy defeat to Islamabad United despite posting 164/8.
