A launchpad provided by James and Umar help Sultans post 200 runs. Qalandars need to produce early blitz to gun this one down.#HBLPSL #KhelDeewanoKa #MSvLQ pic.twitter.com/cHxjvF0Ukq

Both the teams have faced two times in the tournament so far and each side bagged one victory apiece.
The defending champions Islamabad United have also not started the season well and lost two games from a total of three. On the other hand, Peshawar Zalmi have won two matches and lost one contest.
This is for the sixth time that any team scored 200 or more runs in the PSL history. Quetta Gladiators did it thrice while Lahore Qalandars did it twice and now Multan Sultan reached the coveted figure for the first time.
