In a thrilling encounter set to unfold at Multan Cricket Stadium on April 22, 2025, the Multan Sultans won the toss and elected to bat first in their clash against the Lahore Qalandars in the 12th match of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) Season 10. With the Sultans desperate to turn their campaign around and the Qalandars riding high on confidence, this match promises to be a captivating battle.
The Multan Sultans, led by the dynamic Mohammad Rizwan, have struggled to find their rhythm this season, securing just one victory in their last three outings. Determined to capitalize on home conditions, Rizwan’s decision to bat first reflects a bold strategy to set a challenging total and put pressure on the Qalandars’ batting lineup. The Sultans boast a formidable squad, with the likes of Usman Khan, Iftikhar Ahmed, and international stars David Willey and Joshua Little ready to make an impact.
On the other hand, the Lahore Qalandars, under the leadership of Shaheen Afridi, are brimming with momentum after clinching consecutive wins. Their balanced lineup, featuring explosive batsmen like Fakhar Zaman and Abdullah Shafique, alongside a potent bowling attack led by Afridi, Haris Rauf, and Zaman Khan, makes them a formidable force. The Qalandars will look to maintain their winning streak and solidify their position in the PSL standings.
