Multan Sultans vs Islamabad United Chance of Winning
Led by Mohammed Rizwan, there’s a certain level of fluency to Multan Sultans’ side. With Dawid Malan, Reeza Hendricks, and Khushdil Shah to follow, Multan Sultans have made sure batting is not going to be a problem for them. With the wicket being true in nature, it can’t be denied that Multan Sultans hold an advantage at their home ground in the next match as well.
On the other hand, no team will make the mistake of taking Islamabad United lightly, for they have a massive opportunity to disrupt the momentum. The way they managed to thrwat away Lahore Qalandars leaves them in a solid position going forward. Sure, Islamabad United have an opportunity to build on that and put further pressure on Multan Sultans.

Multan Sultans vs Islamabad United Betting Tips
Sure, Mohammed Rizwan didn’t score a lot of runs in the last-round encounter, but do you really wish to bet on him not scoring in the next game? I am not taking that chance. The way Dawid Malan batted was a great endorsement of Multan Sultans’ trust in him and I’m sure he will do a great deal to assert himself again. From Islamabad United, I am putting my faith in Alex Hales to deliver for my market.

Islamabad United Team Form
Islamabad United secured six wins from 10 games to qualify for the playoffs in the 2023 Pakistan Super League but lost the Eliminator last year. They started the 2024 season by beating the defending champions, Lahore Qalandars, in the opening game and will aim to build on that.
Multan Sultans vs Islamabad United Head-To-Head

Multan Sultans to score above 47.5 runs in the powerplay @ 1.89 (Parimatch)

Multan Sultans vs Islamabad United Best Batters
Mohammed Rizwan to be Multan Sultans’ best batter (Parimatch)
Mohammed Rizwan is one of the most prolific run-scorers in T20 cricket, accumulating 7225 runs at an average of 43.26 and a strike rate of 126.3. He has a balls-per-dismissal ratio of 34.3, but what makes him special is the fact that he has a balls-per-boundary rate of 6.9. In Pakistan conditions, he becomes a beast, scoring 47.97 runs per dismissal - which makes him the perfect candidate for the bet.
Colin Munro to be Islamabad United’s best batter (Parimatch)
In an ideal world, I would have bet for Alex Hales, but his form in the last few matches has been so disappointing that I am invariably going for Colin Munro. The Kiwi batter has 10640 runs in the format, with an average of 30.31 with 64 half-centuries and five centuries. He scores a boundary in every 5.3 balls - making him a high-impact player for his own good.
Multan Sultans vs Islamabad United Best Bowlers
Shahnawaz Dahani to be Multan Sultans’ best bowler (Parimatch)
Shahnawaz Dahani has taken 68 wickets in T20s at an average of 22.5 and a strike rate of 15.6. His ability to go for wickets has made him such a valuable prospect everyone cares about - further adding a sense of tangibility to the overall process. So what are you concerned about? You have a chance to make a lot of money by betting big on him.
Shadab Khan to be Islamabad United’s best bowler (Parimatch)
Shadab Khan has left everyone spell-bounded with his incredible batting display, but his rigours with the ball have been established over the years. With 293 wickets in the shortest format of the game, he has an average of 23.8 at an economy rate of 7.4. In Pakistan alone, he has 113 wickets alone, which is great for the cause. So believe that we are going to make a lot of money here.
