Multan Sultans (Match Odds – 1.75):
Preview:
Multan Sultans made a strong comeback after losing their first match of the season by one run to Lahore Qalandars, winning their next match by nine wickets against Quetta Gladiators. Multan fielded first and bowled out Quetta for 110, then chased the target down in 13.3 overs at home. Rilee Rossouw set the tone for the chase with an unbeaten 78 off 42 balls. Multan currently have one of the strongest batting units in the tournament, with Rossouw and Mohammad Rizwan in form and the likes of David Miller, Kieron Pollard, and Khushdil Shah on the way.
The victory over Quetta, on the other hand, was made possible by the sensational bowling of young fast bowler Ihsanullah. The 20-year-old produced an outstanding performance, taking 5-12 in 4 overs. Sameen Gul and Abbas Afridi are the team’s other talented fast bowling prospects, while leg-spinner Usama Mir, who bowled 1-19 in 4 overs against Quetta, will handle their spin bowling.

Players to watch out for:
Ihsanullah
The 20-year-old Afghanistan all-rounder used his pace to its full potential, breaking Haris Rauf’s PSL record for fastest spell. He not only took 5 wickets but also allowed only 12 runs in 4 overs.
Rille Rossouw
From the first ball, the South African International demonstrated how dominant he could be with the bat. Rilee, who has already scored 78 runs, is expected to assist Mohammad Rizwan in this crucial game.
Mohammad Rizwan
As one of Pakistan’s leading batsmen in this year’s World Cup, this wicketkeeper/batsman is expected to be among the highest run scorers in the PSL 2023.
Possible Playing XI:
Mohammad Rizwan (c & wk), Shan Masood, Rilee Rossouw, David Miller, Kieron Pollard, Khushdil Shah, Akeal Hosein, Usama Mir, Sameen Gul, Abbas Afridi, Ihsanullah
Peshawar Zalmi (Match Odds – 2.10):
Preview:
Peshawar Zalmi made an exciting start to the new PSL season, defeating Karachi Kings by just two runs. Peshawar posted 199-5 on a batting beauty of a wicket at National Stadium in Karachi after being asked to bat first. Karachi came within two runs of victory thanks to a special knock by captain Imad Wasim (80* off 47 balls), but fell short by two runs.
Peshawar’s top scorer in the match was Tom Kohler-Cadmore, who smashed 92 runs off just 50 balls. Captain Babar Azam took the lead from the start, scoring 68 off 46 balls. Another batter to keep an eye on is Sri Lanka’s Bhanuka Rajapaksa, who can be dangerous if he stays at the wicket for 20 or so balls. Mohammad Haris (176 runs in six matches at an average of 29.33 and a strike rate of 187.23) can also perform well in this game.
Peshawar’s bowling attack is led by experienced fast bowler Wahab Riaz and astute left-arm spinner Shakib Al Hasan. Riaz took two wickets for 34 runs against Karachi on a fat pitch. James Neesham, New Zealand’s fast bowling all-rounder, may not have scored many runs in the previous game, but he bowled a crucial spell of 2-26 off four overs.
Full Squad:
Mohammad Haris(w), Babar Azam(c), Saim Ayub, Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, James Neesham, Shakib Al Hasan, Wahab Riaz, Sufiyan Muqeem, Salman Irshad, Khurram Shahzad, Usman Qadir, Rovman Powell, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Arshad Iqbal, Danish Aziz, Sherfane Rutherford, Haseebullah Khan, Aamer Jamal

Players to watch out for:
James Neesham
Neesham, one of New Zealand’s most experienced all-rounders, will look to contribute on both ends. In Match 2, he had already taken two wickets and scored 16 runs off 11 balls.
Tom Kohler-Cadmore
Cadmore will be one of the batsmen to watch in Match 5 after playing brilliantly in the BPL 2023 and falling just 8 runs short of scoring the first century of the PSL 2023.
Babar Azam
Being in top form, the Pakistani captain will be expected to lead the Peshawar Zalmi to the best group stage record by leading from the front. He has already scored 68 runs in his debut match for Zalmi and will be eager to put up another strong performance.
Possible Playing XI:
Babar Azam (c), Mohammad Haris (wk), Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Saim Ayub, Tom Kohler-Cadmore, James Neesham, Shakib Al Hasan, Wahab Riaz, Sufiyan Muqeem, Salman Irshad, Khurram Shahzad
Multan Sultans vs Peshawar Zalmi Top Team Batsmen
Multan Sultans batting options include Rilee Rossouw, Shan Masood, and Mohammad Rizwan. While Rizwan has smashed 516 runs in his last 10 games at a strike rate of 124.93, he is without a doubt MS’s leading batsman this season. Rilee Rossouw, on the other hand, just showed how angry he can be by scoring 78 runs in his first game of the season.
Your top suggested picks from the Peshawar Zalmi batting lineup are Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Babar Azam, and Bhanuka Rajapaksa. While Cadmore and Azam have the potential to play through the quota of 20 overs for this side, Rajapaksa’s hard-hitting can provide the ideal end to Zalmi’s batting innings.
Multan Sultans vs Peshawar Zalmi Top Team Bowlers
We recommend Ihsanullah, Abbas Afridi, and Akeal Hosein from the Multan Sultans. Starting with the Afghanistan sensation, Ihsanullah, who has a 5-wicket haul, Hosein and Afridi have shown how economical they can be, averaging just over 7 runs per over. More importantly, Afridi was among the wickettakers, with two to his name.
Your Peshawar Zalmi bowling picks for Match 5 are James Neesham, Salman Irshad, and Wahab Riaz. Riaz and Neesham not only took two wickets each, but their variety could also help this side win crucial wickets in the middle and late overs. Salman Irshad, a 27-year-old fast bowler, could also come in handy against Multan Sultans.
