On Wednesday night at the Multan Cricket Stadium, Multan Sultans and Lahore Qalandars will play Match 7 of the Pakistan Super League 2024. The Lahore Qalandars have lost both of their ties in the competition thus far, while the Sultans have won both of their games. On February 21, the game begins at 19:00 local time.
The Multan Sultans emerged victorious in their match on Tuesday, taking the lead on the penultimate ball and now aiming for their third straight tournament win. The Qalandars still have a lot of game-winning players on their team, despite their lack of victory.
Many commentators have been taken aback by Lahore Qalandars’ two defeats from two matches thus far in the tournament, given their team’s abundance of white ball specialists. It will be extremely difficult to defeat Multan Sultans, even if they play to the best of their abilities.
