MUL vs PES Probable best performers
Expected best batsman: Mohammad Rizwan
Pakistan’s ODI captain Mohammad Rizwan opened the scoring for his team quite briskly with an unbeaten century, scoring 100 in the first match against Karachi and following it up with a very commendable 38 on just 27 balls against Islamabad. He would want to get the team off to a good start on Saturday against Islamabad, but with the pace at which he would rather score.
Likely the Best Bowler: Alzarri Joseph
Pacer Alzarri Joseph has not been his great self till now, but he has already taken three wickets in PSL 2025 at an average of 30.67. Besides, he is a true match-winner, and once he finds his rhythm, he will be a lethal weapon for Peshawar Zalmi.
