Lahore Qalandars will be up against Multan Sultans in the 20th match of the ongoing Pakistan Super League at the Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore on Saturday. Multan Sultans have managed four wins in the six games they have played and they are currently in second place in the standings.
Multan Sultans were able to win four matches on the bounce but they lost their previous game against Karachi Kings by a huge margin of 66 runs. The Mohammad Rizwan-led team was skittled out for a paltry score of 101 while chasing 168 and they will need to come up with a better batting show.
Both of these teams had played the opening game of the season, in which Lahore Qalandars had won the thrilling contest by one run. Thus, it is expected to be another humdinger between these two top teams in the league.
Meanwhile, Lahore Qalandars’ top and middle order could not get going in the previous match against Quetta Gladiators and they will look to turn the tables against the Sultans.
Match Prediction: Multan Sultans might enter the contest as slight favorites against Lahore Qalandars.
