MS vs LQ: Match Preview
Clueless Sultans
Multan Sultans are having a tough start to their tournament. Led by Mohammad Rizwan, they have lost all three of their matches so far. While there's visible improvement match by match, their major issue lies in inconsistency. If the batting department delivers, the bowling fails to follow through. Bowling has been a major concern for the Sultans as they continue to try various combinations, none of which are working effectively. They've already conceded 200+ totals in all their matches, highlighting a critical area that needs urgent attention if they are to stay competitive in the tournament.
Amidst the struggles in the bowling department, their batting has shown clear progress since the first game. With a well-balanced lineup, most of the batters have contributed, with Mohammad Rizwan leading the charge with 158 runs, including a century in the opening match against Karachi Kings. Unfortunately, even that heroic effort wasn’t enough to secure a win.
If the Sultans can put together a decent bowling attack to support their batting, they have the potential to challenge strong teams like Lahore Qalandars.
Qalandars on the Rise
Lahore Qalandars have bounced back strongly after their opening match defeat against Islamabad United. They've been clinical in both batting and bowling in their last two matches, consistently bowling out opponents after putting up solid totals. Their performances have been dominant and efficient, making them one of the most well-rounded teams so far in the competition.
Their batting lineup has been ticking all the boxes — from Fakhar Zaman to Sam Billings, every player has been stepping up when needed. Under the captaincy of Shaheen Afridi, the team has gelled well, and even if one player fails, another rises to the occasion to ensure a competitive total is posted. Fakhar Zaman is their top scorer so far with 144 runs, followed closely by Daryl Mitchell with 125 runs in three matches.
With the batting lineup settled, their bowling attack has been equally impressive. Led by Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf, they’ve consistently taken wickets and kept opposition batters under pressure. Overall, the Qalandars look solid on paper and on the field. In this match, they’ll be looking to extend their winning run and pile further misery on the struggling Sultans, grabbing two more points and climbing up the PSL 2025 points table.
