Peshawar Zalmi victory over Multan Sultans was swift and ruthless as they secured a 7-wicket win in their HBL PSL 10 clash on Monday. Chasing a meager target of 109, Zalmi cruised to 110 for 3 in just 13 overs, showcasing clinical efficiency with both bat and ball.
Multan Collapse After Winning Toss
Multan Sultans chose to bat first but quickly lost momentum. Early efforts by Mohammad Rizwan (17 off 14) and Tayyab Tahir (22 off 18) showed promise, but their dismissals triggered a collapse. Shai Hope tried to anchor the innings with 23 runs, but lacked support from the middle and lower order.
The Sultans folded for 108 in 19.1 overs, unable to build any meaningful partnerships. Peshawar’s bowlers took full advantage of the sluggish batting. Ahmed Daniyal led the attack with 3 wickets for 17 runs. Maaz Sadaqat followed closely, taking 2 for 12, while Luke Wood’s 2 wickets sealed Multan’s fate.

Saim and Bryant Lead Chase
Zalmi’s chase started with a bang. Opener Saim Ayub played a fiery knock, hitting 49 off 33 balls, including four boundaries and three sixes. Although Zalmi lost Mitchell Owen early and captain Babar Azam for just 8, they never lost control of the match.
Max Bryant ensured a smooth finish with a blistering unbeaten 38 off 20 deliveries. He kept the pressure on the Sultans’ bowlers, finding gaps with ease and punishing loose deliveries. Mohammad Haris remained not out at the other end with 7 runs, as Zalmi wrapped up the game in style.
Bowling Stars Shine
The match highlighted the strength of Zalmi’s bowling attack. Their disciplined line and length dismantled Multan’s batting, restricting scoring opportunities and forcing errors. Each bowler executed the game plan to perfection, turning the pressure back on the Sultans from the first over.
With this emphatic win, Peshawar Zalmi sent a strong message to the rest of the league: they are serious contenders for the PSL 10 title.
