Multan Sultan (Web Desk): Multan Sultans won the toss and decided to bat first against Islamabad United in the 13th match of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) Season 10 being played at the Multan Cricket Stadium on Wednesday.
With the home crowd behind them and their backs against the wall after a disappointing start to the season, the Sultans were hoping for a strong performance to reignite their campaign.
Islamabad United came into the game as the team to beat, sitting confidently at the top of the table after four straight wins. Their form has been clinical, and they’ve shown a level of consistency that has eluded most teams this season. Their lineup, packed with both seasoned campaigners and in-form youngsters, has clicked perfectly so far.
Multan, meanwhile, have struggled to find their footing. With just one win from four matches, they’ve had issues with both bat and ball, and pressure has been mounting on the squad to deliver. Despite the close overall head-to-head record between the two sides, recent form clearly favors United, who’ve looked sharp and composed under pressure.
As the match unfolds, all eyes will be on whether the Sultans can break free from their slump or if United will continue their unbeaten streak. For Multan, this is more than just a league game — it’s a chance to prove they still belong in the playoff conversation.
