PSL 7: Multan Sultans vs Lahore Qalandars – Preview & Prediction

Table-toppers Multan Sultans will lock horns with Lahore Qalandars in the Qualifier of the 2022 Pakistan Super League on February 23 at the Gaddafi Stadium.

Mohammad Rizwan’s side have been spectacular in the tournament. They have won nine of their ten matches which is a record in the PSL. 

Their only defeat of the tournament came at the hands of Lahore earlier this month when they lost the game by 52 runs. 

They will enter Wednesday’s clash on the back of a six-wicket victory over Islamabad United on February 20. 

The Sherus made only 105 runs in the stipulated 20 overs, with Musa Khan’s 26 their highest individual score. 

In response, Multan easily reached the target at the cost of four wickets, with Rizwan hitting an unbeaten 51 off 42 balls. 

The Qalandars grabbed second spot in the table after securing 12 points. 

They lost to Peshawar Zalmi in their previous PSL match after a thrilling super over. 

The Yellow Storm posted a 159-run target after batting first, and that total looked to be sufficient when the Qalandars needed 24 from the final over. 

However, Shaheen Afridi’s late heroics took the game to the super over. 

But Wahab Riaz’s sensational bowling and Shoaib Malik’s superb batting meant they ultimately won the match.

Multan and Lahore have beaten each other once in the tournament. However, considering the Sultans have been more consistent, we believe Rizwan’s side will emerge victorious on Wednesday.
