Multan Sultans vs Karachi Kings Team Preview & Squads
Multan Sultans
One of the PSL’s most reliable teams over the past few years has been the Multan Sultans. In the previous three seasons, they have made it to the finals. The Sultans will aim to win the entire campaign when they launch a new one.
The reliable batsman who can play at any position, Mohammad Rizwan, the wicketkeeper, will once again lead the Sultans. With Yasir Shah, Iftikhar Ahmed, and Khushdil Shah among the Multan Sultans’ outstanding batsmen, he has an abundance of local talent at his disposal.
Reeza Hendricks and Dawid Malan are two other excellent international batsmen in the team. The only international possibility in the middle order is David Willey, who is not a good all-rounder. Regarding bowling, the squad will be missing two of its best seamers, Ihsanullah and Reece Topley, who withdrew from the competition owing to injuries.
Usama Mir and Faisal Akram will be involved in the spin department, while Chris Jordan and Shahnawaz Dahani are probably going to lead the new-ball onslaught.

Karachi Kings
After placing in the bottom two spots in the previous two seasons, the Karachi Kings will aim to perform better this time around.
The Karachi Kings have added Daniel Sams and Kieron Pollard, two excellent all-rounders, to try and bolster their middle order. Together, they can play crucial roles with the ball in addition to finishing plays.
They will have the experienced PSL players Shoaib Malik and Muhammad Nawaz with them. During the Powerplay, Shan Masood and James Vince would probably bat first and try to put up some quick runs. Jamie Overton’s injury-related season-long absence has been a slight setback for the team’s pace attack.
Hasan Ali and Mir Hamza will be under more pressure to produce with the new ball as a result. With Arafat Minhas and Tabraiz Shamsi in the mix, the spin attack is rather potent.
