Lahore Qalandars are gearing up for an important matchup against the Multan Sultans in match number 16 of the Pakistan Super League (PSL). This game, set to take place on April 26th at the Gaddafi Stadium, will present two crucial points to the winners. Multan secured a victory over Lahore Qalandars by 33 runs in their previous clash in the ongoing season.
The two teams have competed against each other 20 times to date, with Multan Sultan securing 11 victories compared to Lahore Qalandar’s 9. The track at Gaddafi Stadium is often considered batters’ paradise; hence, the bowlers from both teams will have to be extra careful not to leak a mammoth amount of runs.
Here is the list of three bowlers who can turn the tables in this match:
3. Ubaid Shah

Although the right-arm fast-medium pacer hasn’t had a memorable season so far, his performance against Lahore Qalandars in their last fixture was admirable. He took three important wickets while defending 229 runs. He made inroads through Lahore’s top and middle order by taking the wickets of Fakhar Zaman, Daryl Mitchell and Sam Billings. He will once again look to replicate his heroics from the past game.
2. Shaheen Shah Afridi

Lahore Qalandar’s skipper, Shaheen Shah Afridi, has been influential with the ball for his team. He has scalped 6 wickets in 5 innings so far in this edition of the Pakistan Super League. His ability to swing the ball on both sides early on in the innings makes him a big threat against any opener. Lahore’s captain will be in charge of giving early breakthroughs to his team, a task in which he failed last time.
1. Rishad Hossain

The right-arm leg spinner is amongst the top wicket-takers in this edition of the PSL. He has already scalped 8 wickets in 5 innings and is the highest wicket-taker for Lahore Qalandars. He will be the one to watch out for in the middle overs when the opposition looks to accelerate.
