MUL vs PES: Fan2Play Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing 11, Pitch Report and Injury Update for PSL 2021, Final

Match Details

Multan Sultans and Peshawar Zalmi will battle it out in the high-voltage final clash of Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2021. The summit clash takes place at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi Complex on Thursday (June 24).

This match will get underway at 9:30 PM IST and will be streamed live on Sony LIV.

Preview

Both teams have had a similar journey so far, and there aren’t many factors separating them. Multan Sultans’ start to the season was terrible, to say the least, as they lost four of their first five games. However, they bounced back in the UAE leg of the tournament and registered one victory after another. They subsequently qualified for the playoffs and advanced to the finals after defeating Islamabad United in Qualifier.

On the other hand, Peshawar Zalmi blew hot and cold in the group stage. Having won just two of their first six games, their chances of getting a place in the playoffs were looking thin. However, they won three of their last four games and made a place in the next stage. Continuing their winning runs, Wahab Riaz’s men also won both Eliminators and are just one step away from the prestigious title.

Captaincy Picks for MUL vs PES

Hazratullah Zazai

The dashing Afghanistan opener has been in red-hot form lately and would be critical to Peshawar Zalmi’s chances in the final. With his wide range of shots, Zazai has tormented many bowlers and playing big knocks isn’t beyond his reach either. Moreover, the southpaw scored a match-winning fifty in his last outing and won’t mind replicating his heroics.

Mohammad Rizwan

Zazai is definitely not the only opener who can set the summit clash on fire. Multan Sultans’ skipper Mohammad Rizwan enjoyed a stellar run this season and played one magnificent knock after another. In fact, he is currently the second-leading run-scorer of the season, with 470 runs in 11 outings. Not to forget, his glovework has been very tidy in the tournament.
