MS vs KK Team Preview & Squads

Multan Sultans

Multan Sultans’ net run rate of -2.355 reflects the extent of their struggles, especially with the bat and ball.

Despite some efforts from Captain Mohammad Rizwan, the Sultans have failed to click as a unit. Their most recent performances include a string of losses, underlining their inconsistency and lack of depth.

With only a few matches left in the group stage, Multan is in desperate need of wins to salvage pride, although a playoff spot now looks nearly impossible.

Karachi Kings

While Karachi Kings have shown flashes of brilliance, their form has been inconsistent, alternating between wins and losses.

 Their net run rate of -0.217 indicates close contests, but they’ve lacked the dominance needed to rise further. Karachi’s upcoming clash with Multan presents an important opportunity to strengthen their position on the table.

With the playoff race heating up, a win against a struggling Sultans side could be pivotal in their bid to qualify.

Multan Sultans vs Karachi Kings outfield report

Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore

We anticipate that both captains would prefer to bowl first in this match because Lahore Qalandars and Islamabad United have defeated the Multan Sultans in their previous meetings.

The current weather in Lahore is extremely hot, and when this match starts, it will probably be in the high thirties.

Particularly early in the innings, fast bowlers will benefit from some pace and bounce, but they must strike the proper lengths to get any help.
