Players to watch during Multan Sultans vs Islamabad United:
With the match taking place during the day, we could be in for another high-scoring contest so the batters from each side will be crucial to their chances.
For Multan, the onus will once again be on Mohammad Rizwan and Rilee Rossouw who have been on an absolute tear this tournament.
Ihsanullah will once again be tasked with leading their bowling attack.
For United, Colin Munro and Azam Khan will look to keep their rich vein of form going while Shadab Khan is another to look out for with both the ball and the bat.
Form:
Sultans lead the PSL 8 table with two wins out of three while United has won the only match they have played so far and sits second.
But Multan is on a three-match win streak against today’s opponent which can be a psychological edge.
Going back to last year’s competition, the hosts have lost just three games out of 15 and look to be well-suited for another run at the PSL trophy while United has won just 6 of its last 13.
Where to watch Multan Sultans vs Islamabad United?
