Team Previews
Lahore Qalandars Team Preview:
Lahore Qalandars enter this match high on confidence after a dominant win over Karachi Kings by 65 runs. Their top order fired in unison with Fakhar Zaman smashing a blistering knock and Daryl Mitchell playing an anchor role. The Qalandars’ batting unit looks well-rounded with Shafique, Raza, and Sam Billings offering depth.
The bowling department is spearheaded by Shaheen Afridi, who picked up crucial wickets in the last match’s first over. He was lethal with the new ball and will be pivotal again. Haris Rauf brings pace and discipline while Sikandar Raza offers an all-round threat. This blend of explosive batting and fiery bowling makes them serious contenders.
Multan Sultans Team Preview:
Multan Sultans have had a disappointing start to their PSL 2025 campaign. Despite boasting a world-class top order, their inconsistency with both bat and ball has cost them. Mohammad Rizwan and Shai Hope provide stability, but the middle order has underperformed in crucial moments.
With big names like Michael Bracewell, Iftikhar Ahmed, and David Willey, the team certainly has potential. Willey’s variations, along with Usama Mir’s spin and Ubaid Shah’s pace, are their key bowling assets. However, the team needs a collective performance to overcome the in-form Lahore Qalandars.
