Multan Sultans' Miserable Run in PSL 2024

Multan Sultans' disappointing campaign in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2024 continued as they suffered their eighth defeat, this time at the hands of Peshawar Zalmi. The match, held recently, saw Multan being bowled out for a mere 108 runs in 19.1 overs, marking their fourth instance of scoring less than 120 runs in this year's competition.

The Collapse

Multan seemed to be holding their ground at 60-2 in the ninth over, but the dismissal of Tayyab Tahir for 22 runs triggered a dramatic collapse. The team lost eight wickets for just 48 runs, showcasing their batting vulnerabilities.

Peshawar's Dominant Chase

Peshawar Zalmi, on the other hand, made light work of the chase, reaching the target in just 13 overs. Opener Saim Ayub was the standout performer with a brisk 49, supported by Australian Max Bryant's unbeaten 38.

League Standings

With this victory, Peshawar Zalmi moved to fifth place in the league standings, just a point behind Lahore Qalandars, who have played an additional game. Multan Sultans, meanwhile, remain at the bottom of the table, struggling to find form as the tournament progresses.

Looking Ahead

As the group stage nears its conclusion, Multan Sultans will need to regroup and find a way to turn their fortunes around. With two matches left, Peshawar Zalmi are still in contention for a playoff spot, making the final games crucial for their campaign.
