Match Prediction
Both on form and fitness-wise, the Multan Sultans will start as the favorites coming into this contest. They will be well-rested but their opponents, Zalmi would be playing their 3rd game in 4 days in these hot conditions of Abu Dhabi. Also, Multan has just beaten the defending champions in the last game.

Fantasy Tips
Batsman – Multan’s veteran batsmen Sohaib Maqsood and Rilee Rossouw looked in great touch in the previous match. So they can be picked in the Fantasy XI. Shoaib Malik of Peshawar waged a lone battle against the Qalandars and looked to be tremendous form. Talented Haider Ali can be the 4th batsman in the Fantasy XI.
All-Rounder – Fabien Allen was decent with the ball, picked a couple of wickets but was expensive. Sohail Tanvir is also there as an all-rounder in the fantasy section.
Wicket-Keeper – Mohammad Rizwan is an obvious pick for the sole Wicket-keeper spot in the fantasy XI. He looked in good knick in the 1st game as well. Also, the exciting Gubraz can be picked as a 2nd keeper of the fantasy XI.
Bowlers – Umaid Asif, primarily in Peshawar side as a bowler can get crucial runs too. So along with more prominent Wahab Riaz can be picked. From Multan, veteran Imran Tahir has got enough to trouble the opposition.
