Lahore Qalandars Preview
Lahore, on the other hand, are coming off a poor performance with the bat, managing just 128/9 in 20 overs, which was never going to be enough on a flat surface.
Apart from Abdullah Shafique (33) and a small contribution from Haseebullah Khan (28), the batting lineup completely collapsed. Big names like Fakhar Zaman and Sikandar Raza failed to deliver, which hurt them badly.
However, their bowling unit showed some fight. Shaheen Afridi was exceptional with 4 wickets, and the rest of the attack tried to keep things tight. But defending such a low total was always going to be difficult, and they eventually lost the game.
For Lahore, the concern is clear. Their batting needs to step up massively if they want to compete, especially against a team like Multan that thrives in high-scoring games.
Multan Sultans Preview
Multan are coming off a high-scoring thriller, where they chased down a massive total after conceding 225 runs in the first innings. That game perfectly summed up their strength l batting depth and fearless intent.
In their previous match, Sahibzada Farhan smashed a brilliant 106 off 57, leading the chase with authority. He was well supported by Steven Smith (46 off 20) and contributions from the middle order, as Multan comfortably chased 227 in just 18.4 overs.
This kind of chase sends a strong message Multan are not just capable of putting up big scores, but also hunting them down under pressure. Their batting unit looks in top form, and if they carry this momentum, they’ll be tough to stop.
