Multan Sultans take on Peshawar in PSL-6 final

ABU DHABI: First-time finalists Multan Sultans will take on 2017 champions Peshawar Zalmi in the Pakistan Super League-6 final for the top prize of Rs 3.5 crore at the Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium here on Thursday.

Both Sultans and Zalmi secured wins over Islamabad United in the play-offs to set up their title clash.

Islamabad United, who had topped the points table with eight wins, lost their way at the business end of the tournament, suffering a 31-run loss to Sultans in Monday's Qualifier, followed by an eight-wicket defeat to Zalmi on Tuesday in the Eliminator 2.

Peshawar Zalmi had a tough run leading up to the playoffs, with the Wahab Riaz-led side losing three out of their five Abu Dhabi-leg matches. Still, they succeeded in maintaining a decent net run-rate that helped them secure the third spot ahead of Karachi Kings and Lahore Qalandars. (IANS)
