Match Preview
Multan Sultans made a very strong comeback after that loss to Lahore Qalandars. They scored 245/3 in the last game and defeated Quetta Gladiators by 117 runs. Their top-order contributed very well. Their bowling also did an exceptional job by restricting Quetta to 128. They will certainly be favorites going into this match.
Islamabad United lost their last two games against Peshawar Zalmi and Lahore Qalandars. They will be down in confidence so they will want to secure a win here to built momentum and get their PSL campaign back on track. They are badly missing the leadership of Shadab Khan and his contributions both with the bat and the ball. They will want him to get fit and resume his work.
Multan Sultans are certainly a stronger side here at least on paper, so they are expected to come out victorious.
Prediction: Multan Sultans to win.
Pitch report
The pitch is the same as we have witnessed throughout the competition. It is very good for shotmaking however, it offers a little bit of assistance for spinners.
