The Multan Sultans haven’t enjoyed the best of luck when it comes to the toss. They have managed to win just twice in the 6 matches played. Therefore, Karachi has a better likelihood of winning.
Hendricks has been one of the top performers with the bat in this season of the PSL. He has top-scored for Multan in 3 of the 6 matches played so far and has a batting average of 57.2. With another good batting track on offer, we can expect a good knock from him.
Mohammad Ali has bowled exceedingly well so far and is the joint-highest wicket-taker of the season. He has picked up at least 2 wickets in 4 of his last 5 outings and was the top bowler in 3 of them. We are therefore backing him to bowl a good spell in this match.
The Multan Sultans will be looking to extend their lead at the top of the points table as they take on the Karachi Kings this Sunday. The match will be played at the National Stadium in Karachi.
Both teams have played 12 matches against each other to date, and both teams have won 6 matches each.
This match can be live-streamed on the FanCode App.
With 2 wins in 5 matches, the Karachi Kings are placed 5th on the points table. With 5 more matches to go including this one, the team is in desperate need of a couple of wins to further its cause to make it to the playoffs.
Barring Kieron Pollard and Shoaib Malik, the batting hasn’t been consistent enough for the team. Shan Masood and Tim Seifert opened the batting for Karachi in the last match but weren’t able to get a strong start. Masood in particular has struggled to get going and is averaging just 16.5 after 5 matches.
There are some quality batsmen in the middle order including James Vince and Mohammad Nawaz, and at least one of them will need to play a big inning in this match. Coming to the bowling, Hasan Ali is the leading wicket-taker with 8 wickets but has received little support from the other end.
He will be joined by Blessing Muzarabani and Anwar Ali in the seam attack, while Zahid Masood will lead the spin attack.
The Multan Sultans are the most consistent team this season and have won 5 of the 6 matches played so far. As a result, they are sitting comfortably at the top of the points table and another win here will almost guarantee them a place in the play-offs.
Reeza Hendricks has been in brilliant form at the top of the order and is also the top run-getter for his team. Hendricks has scored 3 half-centuries in his 6 innings and has scored a total of 286 runs. Mohammad Rizwan and Iftikhar Ahmed have chipped in with valuable knocks on a couple of occasions, while Usman Khan showed excellent temperament in the last match to score 96 from just 55 deliveries.
The bowling has been one of the highlights of Multan’s performance this season. Usama Mir and Mohammad Ali are the top two wicket-takers of the season with 13 wickets each, while Aftab Ahmed and Faisal Akram have kept the pressure on from the other end.
The team winning the toss will likely opt to bowl first.
The pitch at Karachi is generally good to bat on. While the ball does move around a bit when it’s new, things settle down as the ball gets older and softer, allowing the batsmen to play their shots. The team batting first will look to score at least 180-190 runs to put pressure on the opposition.
The spinners can expect some turn if they hit the right areas.
The weather is likely to remain clear with temperatures of below 20 degrees Celsius.
Looking at the form of both teams this season, the Multan Sultans are the favorites to win. They have a well-balanced team with a particularly strong bowling attack that gives them an edge.
Bet on the Multan Sultans to win.
