HEAD TO HEAD

TEAMS PREVIEW

Multan Sultans Preview

Mohammad Rizwan's team finally has things going for them. After three consecutive losses, the side defeated the Lahore Qalandars in the last game by 33 runs to earn their first points this season. The bowling attack is looking rusty despite the heroics of the batsmen. Rizwan would expect a better show from his bowlers as they take on the defending champions. 

Yasir Khan played a match-winning knock in the last game and will look to deliver a strong start with skipper Mohammad Rizwan. The middle order has done well, and the team needs a strong show from Usman Khan, Ashton Turner, and Michael Bracewell. Iftikhar Ahmed, Kamran Ghulam, and David Willey shall look to add quick runs in the lower middle order. 

The bowling attack is the weak link in this team, and the team needs early strikes from David Willey and Michael Bracewell, as Islamabad United has a strong batting lineup. Ubaid Shah and Joshua Little will look to keep the scoring under check in the middle overs. The side will expect good spells in the ing role from Usama Mir and Iftikhar Ahmed.

Multan Sultans Predicted Playing XI:

Mohammad Rizwan (c), Yasir Khan, Usman Khan (wk), Kamran Ghulam, Michael Bracewell, Iftikhar Ahmed, Ashton Turner, David Willey, Usama Mir, Ubaid Shah, Joshua Little

Multan Sultans Actual Playing XI:

Tayyab Tahir, Yasir Khan, Iftikhar Ahmed, Kamran Ghulam, Michael Bracewell, Mohammad Rizwan, Usman Khan, Chris Jordan, Usama Mir, Joshua Little, Ubaid Shah

Islamabad United Preview

Shadab Khan's team looks unstoppable at the moment. The team has won four games in a row and looks in a strong position to be the first team to reach the playoffs. They defeated the Karachi Kings in the last game by 6 wickets. Shadab Khan would like his team to build on the momentum and widen the gap with other teams on the points table. 

Sahibzada Farhan and Azam Khan batted well in the last game, and the team expects a strong show from them at the top. Colin Munro is an experienced batsman at No. 3 and shall look to steer the innings with Shadab Khan and Mohammad Nawaz. The team has depth in the batting lineup and expects runs from Muhammad Shahzad, Jason Holder, and Imad Wasim in the ing role. 

Ben Dwarshuis bowled an impressive spell in the last game and looks to do well with the new ball alongside Naseem Shah. Jason Holder and Imad Wasim have tons of experience, and they make this bowling attack strong in the middle overs. The team will also like a good show from Mohammad Shahzad, Shadab Khan, and Mohammad Nawaz in the ing role.

Islamabad United Predicted Playing XI:

Shadab Khan (c), Sahibzada Farhan, Azam Khan (wk), Colin Munro, Haider Ali, Mohammad Nawaz, Jason Holder, Muhammad Shahzad, Imad Wasim, Ben Dwarshuis, Naseem Shah

Islamabad United Actual Playing XI:

Haider Ali, Colin Munro, Imad Wasim, Shadab Khan, Jason Holder, Mohammad Nawaz, Andries Gous, Salman Irshad, Riley Meredith, Saad Masood, Sahibzada Farhan

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

Multan will have clear skies on April 23. We expect to see a great cricket match. The wicket is flat, and batsmen can play their strokes without any fear on this surface. The average first innings score is 168 on this surface and the side batting first will need 200 runs on the board to feel safe.

MS vs ISU Pitch Report

Multan Cricket Stadium, Multan, is a good surface to bat on as the ball comes easily onto the bat. Stroke players have done well here in the past. Fast bowlers need to mix their line well to achieve rewards on this surface, while spinners have been more successful thanks to the turn and bounce available on this surface.

Toss: To Bat

Multan is a tough venue to chase scores. In the last six games, the team chasing has won only once at this venue. The wicket is good to bat on in the first innings but slows down in the second half. The side winning the toss will look to bat first.
