Multan Sultans vs Karachi Kings (9th match of PSL 2021)

  1. Current Performance: Multan Sultans finally managed to win their first match of the tournament in their last game. Mommad Rizwan is in red hot form with the bat. James Vince & Sohaib Maqsood also looks in good shape with the bat. Chris Lynn’s dismal performance continues as his cores are 1+1+0 in the last three matches. The young pacer Sahnawaz Dhani has impressed in his two outings so far. Shahid Afridi needs to step up his games a notch. Multan bowlers will have to be at their best against the star studded batters of Karachi Kings.

Karachi Kings has won a match & lost one too in this competition. In their last match, the bowlers did not do their job as they could not even defend 196 runs. All of their batters looks in good shape but their bowlers need to raise their performance.

  1. Venue: Karachi National Stadium

As the matches are played in this same venue, we will not look into the previous venue records. Watch out for the series performances section & that will be the current venue records.

Avg 1st innings score in this season- 167/6

Avg 2nd Innings score in this season- 169/ 4.49

This will be a day game. Yesterday in the day game the spinners were getting good amount of turn from the pitch. However remember the fact that batting 1st team has not still won any game in this competition. The captain winning the toss will look to field first.

  1. Head to Head Record: These two teams met 5 times & Karachi Kings has the definite upper hand with 4 wins to their name as Multan Sultans managed only 1 win.

C/VC for small leagues- Mohammad Rizwan, Babar Azam, Mohammad Nabi

C/VC for the grand leagues- Imad Wasim, Joe Clarke, James Vince, Carlos Brathwaite, Mohammad Amir

  1. Fantasy Talk:
  • Karachi Kings does possess a good batting line up but their first bowling department has some holes. If Multan Sultans are to win this match, they need to utilize this.
  • Will Chris Lynn score today?- He will be up against Mohammad Amir & Imad Wasim in the first few overs. Both are quality bowlers. What do you think? Lynn is definitely punt pick for today.
  • If you look at the top four batters of Multan Sultans, all are right handers. Imad wasim may do well against them although his head to head record is not so good.
  • People will ignore Shahid Afridi & Usman Qadir today. But if Multan Sultans are to win, they will have their say.

            Mohammad Nabi looks in awesome touch with the bat & also bowled well in the last game. The PRESIDENT may take matters in his own hand today.
