Multan Sultans
Islamabad United
The incumbent champions are on a roll this season and are the only team that is undefeated thus far. Islamabad is sitting comfortably at the top of the table and another win will only strengthen its position.
The Multan Sultans have finished in the top two in each of the last 5 seasons but they are struggling at the moment. They are placed at the bottom of the table and will hope to put up better performances going ahead.

Both teams have fully fit squads to select from.
The pitch in Multan is excellent to bat on and we expect a high-scoring match. There is very little help for the bowlers and they will need to be very accurate with their line and length. The pace is true and timing the shots will be easy.
The weather is warm and dry and the dew is unlikely to play much of a role in this match.
The wicket-keepers from Multan, Mohammad Rizwan, and Usman Khan, have both batted well and found a place on our team.
Since the pitch is expected to be batsmen-friendly, we are going with plenty of batsmen for our team. These include Sahibzada Farhan, Colin Munro, Yasir Khan, and Iftikhar Ahmed.
The all-rounders are the most important part of any team and there are quite a few good ones playing for both sides. Shadab Khan is a no-brainer, while Michael Bracewell and Imad Wasim have also done well.
Since all three all-rounders picked by us are spinners, we are selecting the two seamers, Jason Holder and Naseem Shah here.
We are going with Shadab Khan as the captain of our team. He is one of the best all-rounders in the league and has contributed with both, the bat and the ball for his team.
Sahibzada Farhan is the leading run-scorer of the season and has scored 30 or more runs in each of his last 3 outings, including a century and a half-century. Since this is likely to be a good batting track, Farhan could play a big knock here.
As has been the case for most PSL matches this season, the stage is set for another high-scoring game. That is the reason we have picked up a side that is heavy on batsmen. The spinners have enjoyed decent success here and luckily for us, there are some quality all-rounders who are also slow bowlers. The seamers are likely to struggle and we have therefore opted for only two fast bowlers.
Jason Holder has 603 fantasy points from the last 5 matches at an average of 120 points per game.
