PSL 6 Final Match Preview:

Both Multan Sultans and Peshawar Zalmi did not have an appealing season when examining the league stage. However, Sultans’ improvement made them the second team to qualify for the playoffs. Beating Islamabad United in the Qualifier, they straightaway proceeded to the final with United left with an additional chance to utilize.

Shadab’s men’s yearnings were dismissed when they disputed Wahab’s Zalmi in Eliminator 2. Zalmi, who accompanied their combative way with the bat and gloriously bowling deliveries, knocked United out, unearthing themselves in the final to battle with awaited Sultans as scheduled.

Players to Watch for:

Shahnawaz Dahani:

Sultans’ delight: Dahani has given multi memorable moments for the PSL fans to witness this season. But, of course, the Braithwaite-Dahani celebration is not the only thing to talk about, but the bowler tops the chart of getting most wickets this season. Featuring in 10 competitions, the right-arm medium-fast bowler has yielded 20 wickets averaging 15.1 with his best haul of 4/5.

Hazratullah Zazai:

Inducing Afghan players in the season has so far benefitted the franchises, particularly Zalmi. Zazai’s innings against Kings and United popped the two teams home, with Zalmi getting another chance to be in the showdown.

Wahab Riaz:

Riaz, the second-highest wicket-taker of the PSL 6, may attend to steal the show tonight, giving his unit some cherishing moments ahead of the concluding scaffolds. He has mustered 18 wickets in 10 league-stage innings averaging 20.55 with his best haul of 4/17.

Predicted Winners:

Zalmi may lack the aggressive approach that is continual for the last two games. Every rise has a fall. Hence, Sultans may take an edge under Rizwan’s experienced captaincy over Wahab’s chaps.
