Match Preview

We are one week into the 10th edition of the Pakistan Super League and some trends have started emerging. The Multan Sultans, who topped the table last season, are struggling at the moment and have lost all the 3 games they have played and will be desperate for a win.

On the other hand, the Lahore Qalandars, who managed to win just one match last year, are coming into this contest on the back of consecutive victories and will look to stay in the top half of the table.

Injuries & Illnesses

Both teams have fully fit squads at their disposal.

Pitch Report & Weather Conditions

We can expect a flat track at Multan for this match. There is very little grass on the surface and the seamers will struggle to get any sort of movement. However, the surface slows down as the match progresses and the spinners can expect some help, especially if they vary their pace.

The weather will remain clear and there is no chance of rain but there might be some dew later during the match.

MS vs LQ Dream11 Top Picks

Wicketkeeper

Mohammad Rizwan is the top pick in this category as he is among the most experienced player in the league.

As the pitch allows the batsmen to play their shots freely, we are picking up some quality players here. Fakhar Zaman has scored back-to-back half-centuries and made it to our team. We are also picking up Daryl Mitchell and Abdullah Shafique.

All Rounders

The all-rounders hold the key for any team. Both teams have some good all-rounders like Rishad Hossain, Sikandar Raza, and Michael Bracewell.

Bowlers

Haris Rauf and Shaheen Shah Afridi are two quality seamers and we are including them as our two fast bowlers. Abbas Afridi has also bowled well and is on our team.

MS vs LQ Captain and Vice-Captain Choices

Captain

Since the batsmen are likely to enjoy the, we are selecting Fakhar Zaman as our captain. He has scored back-to-back half-centuries and appears to be in good form.

Vice-Captain

While there are plenty of options for this post, we are going with Rishad Hossain. He has picked up 3-wicket hauls in each of his last two outings and as the pitch can help the slower bowlers, Rishad could pick up plenty of wickets.
