MUL vs PES: Possible Peshawar Zalmi Playing 11 for Match 16 of Pakistan Super League T20

Peshawar Zalmi Playing 11: PSL 2022 will resume on Thursday after a two-day break at Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium. With the Karachi leg completed, the 16th match of seventh edition of PSL will witness Peshawar Zalmi and Multan Sultans locking horns for the second time in the ongoing season. The Zalmi suffered 57 runs defeat when both teams met earlier in Karachi.

Sitting at the bottom second spot with two wins and three defeats in five outings, Peshawar Zalmi haven’t been at their best so far. While the batting is heavily dependent upon veteran Shoaib Malik and Sherfane Rutherford, the bowling unit has lacked penetration so far in the tournament. The likes of Wahab Riaz, Usman Qadir need to pull up their socks and contribute if the Zalmi look to put a stop to Multan Sultans’ unbeaten streak. The defending champions are sitting atop the points table unbeaten in five encounters.
