Multan Sultans vs Karachi Kings Chance of Winning
The Mohammad Rizwan-led Multan Sultans have been one of the most impressive sides over the years, reaching the final in each of the past three editions, winning the tournament in 2021. The likes of Mohammad Rizwan, Iftikhar Ahmed, and Khushdil Shah have made them such a blistering unit, which is fundamental to their existence. Could it have been any better?
The same, however, can’t be said about Karachi Kings. Led by Shan Masood, Karachi have Saad Baig, Anwar Ali, Mir Hamza, and Shoaib Malik on their side, providing gaiety to the line-up. They also have the impact of Tabraiz Shamsi and Jamie Overton - which is why we believe that they will do better than the last time.
MS’s chance of winning is 59%

Multan Sultans vs Karachi Kings Betting Tips
Mohammed Rizwan may bat a little slow, but he has been the fulcrum of any side he has represented. His ability to score runs comfortably has made him such a superstar and he will do the same in the next game too. I am also betting on Shoaib Malik to deliver for me in the round and so leaving him out is not an option here.

Mohammed Rizwan is a beast when it comes to scoring in T20 cricket. He has 7214 runs at an average of 43.45 with a strike rate of 126.36. If you want to know the magnificence of Rizwan as a batter, I must remind you that he has 60 half-centuries in the format - with a couple of centuries. There shouldn’t be any doubt.
Kieron Pollard to be Karachi Kings’ best batter (Parimatch)
Since Babar Azam has moved to Peshawar Zalmi, Kieron Pollard has now become a very important force in the side, having a commendable total of 12652 runs in the format. With an average of 31.23 in a career that spanned across the globe, Pollard has been a story for ages. So fear not, just bet on him to maximize the advantage.
