Multan Sultans vs Lahore Qalandars Chance of Winning
Multan Sultans have done everything right so far - once while batting first and in the next assignment while bowling first. It has ensured that they are staying ahead of the curve in the next game, and what is particularly interesting to note is that they are playing at their home venue. So the team, led by Mohammed Rizwan, will have many success factors to boast.
On the other hand, Lahore Qalandars, one of the most successful sides in the history of the PSL, are a little short on strategy and confidence. They are yet to be sure what could be done around their own benevolence, but the fact that they know how to win big matches is a bigger catch factor. So ignore them at your own peril.

Multan Sultans vs Lahore Qalandars Betting Tips
Just go ahead and bet on Mohammed Rizwan. He is one of the finest and most consistent batters in Pakistan, heck, in world cricket, and he is sure to yield dividends for us. I am not leaving out Reeza Hendricks either, for I know the Saffer has it in him to deliver when the side need it the most. Further, last but not least, Shaheen Shah Afridi. One of the greatest modern-day pacers to have graced the game, leaving him out will be a crime. So bet on him and see your account grow.

Lahore Qalandars Team Form
The defending champions have lost the last two games - first to Islamabad United by eight wickets, and then, Quetta Gladiators won by five wickets. In both games, they batted first. So they will be eager to find the right balance and strike the chord in the upcoming game.
Multan Sultans vs Lahore Qalandars Head-To-Head
This is one of the most evenly-matched contests in the Pakistan Super League, with Multan winning eight and Lahore winning nine games out of the 17 head-to-head encounters. The last time both sides came face to face against each other was in the final of the 2023 edition, in which Qalandars won by one run.

Multan Sultans vs Lahore Qalandars 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 7268 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 47.99 runs per dismissal. So what is stopping you from betting on him.
Rassie van der Dussen to be Lahore Qalandars’ best batter (Parimatch)
Rassie van der Dussen scored an unbeaten 71 in the first game against Islamabad United but couldn’t do much in the next game, scoring just 15. However, the career credentials don’t get demeaned in a day, for he has 5094 runs in T20s at an average of 36.02- which indicates his consistency in the shortest format of the game. I am going ahead with him and expecting you to do the same.
Multan Sultans vs Lahore Qalandars Best Bowlers
Mohammad Ali to be Multan Sultans’ best bowler (Parimatch)
Mohammed Ali has played just 11 T20 matches, but has shown enough glimpses of why he can be the next big thing in Pakistan cricket. A perfect action coupled with a stellar consistency record in first-class cricket to back him up, Ali has done well in the first two games of the season, picking six wickets. He can be a threat Multan would want to use against Lahore.
Shaheen Shah Afridi to be Lahore Qalandars’ best bowler (Parimatch)
Sure Shaheen Shah Afridi hasn’t had the best time in the last two games, but who would you back? Afridi is one of the best T20 bowlers around and you can figure that from his statistics of 245 wickets at an average of 20.9. In his T20 career, he has five five-wicket hauls. If you want to make money, just bet on him to deliver big.
