Multan Sultans were able to choose a formidable team for their first match because they had no injured players and only a few were playing in other competitions. The victory on Sunday left no word on injuries, and we anticipate playing the same lineup on Tuesday.
The highest scorer from the previous year’s competition, Mohammad Rizwan, the captain and keeper-batter, got the tournament started with 11 runs in Match 3. He will be eager to score heavily in this match. The right-handed number three hitter Reeza Hendricks defeated the Karachi Kings with an undefeated innings that featured seven fours and three sixes, earning him the Player of the Match Award.

During the post-match interviews versus Lahore Qalandars, no injuries were disclosed.
After hitting 11 boundaries in his perfect innings and claiming a wicket with the ball, skipper Shadab Khan was named the Player of the Match.

Abdullah Shafique was dismissed by England T20 specialist bowler Tymal Mills with a slower delivery against Lahore Qalandars, showcasing his versatility and talent. In the first game, Naseem Shah, a youthful right-arm fast bowler, delivered figures of 1/36, taking David Wiese wicket among other highlights. It appeared as though he had fully recovered.
