Moreover, the Sultans have been the most preferred group in this Abu Dhabi leg, winning five of six games. Mohammad Rizwan’s leadership has never really dampen the interest of that minority which puzzles over whether he ought to be Pakistan captain; a competition that-isn’t with Babar Azam which got upgraded by the two opening together for Pakistan and being one and two on the run charts this season.
But for the Zalmis, it is the third time in the previous four seasons that they lost in the final. They failed to keep Sultan on the low for the first half of the first innings. And Hazratullah Zazai faced only five balls that cause the big partnership of Maqsood and Rossouw, resulting in an almost half-century and a victory for Sultans.
