KARACHI – The final of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) Season 9 ninth season will be played today between Multan Sultans and Islamabad United.
The decision about who will be the champion of HBL PSL 9 will be made tonight at Karachi’s National Stadium, where both teams will compete for the title.
Islamabad has won the trophy twice while Multan Sultans have won the title once.
Multan Sultans reached the final by defeating Peshawar Zalmi in the qualifier while Islamabad United defeated Quetta Gladiators in Eliminator 1 and then snatched victory from Peshawar in Eliminator 2 to reach the final.
The captains of both teams Mohammad Rizwan and Shadab Khan posed for pictures with the trophy in front of the historic Karachi Port Trust building.
Whereas the pitch is concerned, it is the same pitch at the National Bank Cricket Stadium in Karachi where Islamabad United and Peshawar Zalmi played Eliminator 2.
The pitch provided assistance to the bowlers with bounce and pace, aiding them in getting wickets. It is hoped that the pitch will perform similarly today.
Multan Sultans and Islamabad United both are strong teams. Sultans proved stronger in both departments among the two teams in HBL PSL 9, Islamabad showed remarkable performance after securing two consecutive knockout victories.
However, comparing the teams and reviewing past matches, Multan still appears stronger than Islamabad in bowling, fielding, and batting departments.
