Multan Sultans vs Quetta Gladiators Preview

• Last season’s runners-up, Multan Sultans, were defeated by Lahore by one run in their opening game.
• Iftikhar Ahmed has been in excellent form and will be the match-winner for Quetta.
• The bowling attack of the Quetta Gladiators is superior to that of the Sultans.

 

The third game of the Pakistan Super League 2023 extravaganza will face Mohammad Rizwan’s Multan Sultans against one of the competition’s most depleted sides, Quetta Gladiators, a squad that has failed to make the playoffs in each of the previous three seasons. The match starts on February 15th at the Multan International Cricket Stadium.

Multan’s batting order is as good as it was last season. However, the bowling attack appears to be lacking in critical individuals. Gladiators, on the other hand, stars Hasaranga, Naseem Shah, and Odean Smith, among others.

Sarfaraz Ahmed will try to improve his failure to qualify for the playoffs last season. Quetta will be eager to establish dominance early in the league stage. Sarfaraz has more options for the top order this year, thanks to the addition of Martin Guptill to the Gladiators.

Multan Sultans vs Quetta Gladiators Weather Report, Toss Prediction, and Pitch Report

The sky is clear enough for us to play the entire game. During the match, the temperature will range between 28 and 15 degrees, with humidity reaching up to 50%.

Both captains will keep the dew in mind as the match begins at 7:30 p.m. local time. The best option for this is to bowl first at this location.

The pacers will have no support at Multan Cricket Stadium, and the batters will also have to adjust to the sluggish surface. However, spinners will have an advantage on this surface since the ball occasionally stops at the batters.

Multan Sultans is the favourite to win this match.

 

Given that the batting lineup and spin-bowling assault will have to lead the winning team to the finish line, the Multan Sultans have a well-balanced combination of anchors and power hitters. Furthermore, players like Usama Mir have already competed on this track and will know how to exploit the pitch to their advantage. This is why we expect Sultan to defeat Quetta Gladiators for the fourth time in a row. However, the Gladiators have the resources to cause an upset early on.
