In the 9th match of the ongoing Pakistan Super League 2024 (PSL), the undefeated Multan Sultans will go head to head against previous heroes Peshawar Zalmi. Regardless of coming out on top for the championship in 2017, Zalmi presently can’t seem to get a win in two games, while the 2021 heroes have won in three continuous matches to start the tournament. One more loss for the side driven by Babar Azam would put them near the very edge of disposal. Right now, Multan Sultans are put on the highest point of the tree while Peshawar Zalmi is at the base.

Pitch Report
The pitch conditions at the venue haven’t favored batting in the games played thus far. Despite this, chasing teams have been successful in securing victories, often due to the dew factor that arises during the nighttime, particularly in Pakistan’s winter season. But with the dew coming in the later time of the game, batting second will be a go-to option for captains winning the toss.
