Zalmi Outclass Sultans in Crucial PSL 2025 Match
Peshawar Zalmi continued their impressive form in PSL 2025 by securing a dominant seven-wicket victory over Multan Sultans on Monday at the Sultans’ home ground. The win keeps Zalmi’s playoff hopes alive and marks their fourth win out of eight matches, placing them fifth on the PSL 2025 points table.
The 25th match of the PSL 2025 saw the Sultans struggle against a disciplined Zalmi bowling attack. Electing to bat first, Multan Sultans failed to build momentum and were bowled out for just 108 runs in 19.1 overs. This result was crucial for Zalmi, who aim to maintain their record of qualifying for every PSL playoff since the league began in 2016.

Top Performers in the First Innings
Shai Hope was the only notable contributor for the Sultans, scoring 23 runs, while Tayyab Tahir added 22. The rest of the batting lineup crumbled under pressure as Ahmad Daniyal, the pick of the bowlers, claimed impressive figures of 3/17 in four overs. Luke Wood and Maaz Sadaqat supported well, picking up two wickets each to restrict the opposition to a below-par score.
For fans tracking the Multan Sultans scorecard today, the innings was disappointing, especially for a side that previously showed playoff potential.
