TEAMS PREVIEW
Peshawar Zalmi Preview
It’s been a rough ride for Multan Sultans, who sit at fifth after two heavy defeats in a row. Most recently, they were hammered by Islamabad United in Rawalpindi, falling short by 47 runs after getting bowled out for 155 while chasing 206. They'll be desperate to bounce back here.
Despite the struggles, Mohammad Rizwan has held things together. He’s scored 284 runs in just four innings, averaging 71 and striking at 159. Ben Geddes has chipped in too, with 143 runs from two outings at a healthy strike rate of 158. Past them, though, the batting hasn't really clicked. Michael Bracewell has been the only one down the order to make a real impact, smashing 60 runs at a blistering strike rate of 222.
Shai Hope, Kamran Ghulam, and Iftikhar Ahmed are capable of more but haven’t hit their stride yet.
Bowling’s been a problem area, too. They’ve allowed over 200 runs in both matches so far, with only Usama Mir showing any real control—he’s taken two wickets and kept things tight with an economy under 8. Chris Jordan brings experience but hasn’t kept the runs in check. Multan could consider swapping in Akif Javed, who grabbed 3 for 41, for Mohammad Hasnain to shake things up.
Peshawar Zalmi Predicted Playing XI:
Mohammad Rizwan (c & wk), Shai Hope, Usman Khan, Kamran Ghulam, Michael Bracewell, Iftikhar Ahmed, Chris Jordan, David Willey, Usama Mir, Mohammad Hasnain/ Akif Javed, Ubaid Shah

Multan Sultans Preview
Peshawar Zalmi have opened their campaign in the worst possible way—first taking an 80-run beating from Quetta Gladiators, then getting hammered by 102 runs against Islamabad United. Those back-to-back heavy losses haven’t just left them at the bottom of the table, but their net run rate has taken a serious hit too—it’s down to -4.550.
If they don’t get their act together soon, the season could slip away fast.
Mohammad Haris has been the bright spot with the bat, collecting 100 runs in two games at a strike rate of 181.81. Saim Ayub didn’t fire in the last match, but he’s a talented opener who scored a smooth fifty in the first game. We’re expecting him to bounce back with at least 30+ runs this time.
Hussain Talat and Mitchell Owen have chipped in with some runs and will be important again. Tom Kohler-Core hasn’t hit his stride yet, but he’s a solid batter and overdue for a big innings.
Alzarri Joseph has taken three wickets in two games, though his economy is a steep 11.50. Sufiyan Muqeem and Hussain Talat have grabbed a wicket or two as well, but both have gone for plenty—close to 11 runs an over. This bowling attack has been too leaky and hasn’t done much to hold the opposition in check.
Multan Sultans Predicted Playing XI:
Saim Ayub, Babar Azam (c), Mohammad Haris (wk), Tom Kohler-Core, Hussain Talat, Mitchell Owen, George Linde, Alzarri Joseph, Sufiyan Muqeem, Mohammad Ali, Ali Raza

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
Rawalpindi generally produces flat tracks that are good for batting, though it can get a bit sticky in the latter stages with the ball gripping more. Fast bowlers might find some early swing, but things should ease up for batters as the game wears on.
Weather-wise, it’ll be hot and muggy, but with clear skies overhead, we should see the match go the distance.

Toss: To Bat
Four of the five matches played at Rawalpindi in PSL 2025 have been won by the team batting first quite comfortably. This suggests that batting first here is the safer option.

Winning Prediction
Multan Sultans and Peshawar Zalmi are both under pressure to turn things around after rough starts to the tournament. They’ve struggled across the board and need to fix a lot fast. That said, Multan have a better overall balance and look stronger when you stack the squads side by side. Peshawar's batting has held up alright, but their bowling hasn’t looked up to the mark, and they’ve leaked too many runs. That tips things in Multan’s favor—they’re the more reliable option for this one.
We are backing Multan Sultans as the winners of this match.
