Riley Rossouw materialized the victory for Sultans as he made the fastest century of HBL PSL 8.
Sultans won by four wickets.
On other hand, Zalmi made history as they became the first T20 franchise team to post 240 plus two matches in a row, and then made further history by failing to defend the total in both matches.
After this match, the playoff equation turned out to be very interesting as Zalmi now need to defeat Islamabad United to clinch a playoff spot in their final match. The experts say that if they do that and Multan beats Quetta in their last game, then Multan will jump past Islamabad into second place. If Zalmi lose to Islamabad, then they'll need Multan to beat Islamabad to ensure Zalmi reach the playoffs.
Earlier, Peshawar Zalmi won the toss and decided to bat first against Multan Sultans at Rawalpindi ground on Friday.
Multan Sultans XI: 1 Mohammad Rizwan (capt./wk), 2 Shan Masood, 3 Rilee Rossouw, 4 Kieron Pollard, 5 Tim David, 6 Khushdil Shah, 7 Anwar Ali, 8 Usama Mir, 9 Abbas Afridi, 10 Sheldon Cottrell, 11 Ihsanullah.
