In the ninth match of the ongoing Pakistan Super League 2024 (PSL), the undefeated Multan Sultans (MUL) will face off against former champions Peshawar Zalmi (PES). Despite winning the title in 2017, Zalmi has yet to secure a victory in two games, while the 2021 champions have triumphed in three consecutive matches to kick off the tournament. Another defeat for the side led by Babar Azam would place them on the brink of elimination. Currently, Multan Sultans are placed on the top of the tree while Peshawar Zalmi are at the bottom.

MUL vs PES: Pitch Report
The pitch conditions at the venue haven't favored batting in the games played thus far. Despite this, chasing teams have been successful in securing victories, often due to the dew factor that arises during the nighttime, particularly in Pakistan's winter season. But with the dew coming in the later time of the game, batting second will be a go-to option for captains winning the toss.
