Key Player Duels – Islamabad United vs Multan Sultans
1. Mohammad Rizwan vs Naseem Shah
Rizwan's steady anchor job will be challenged by Naseem's fiery express pace at the top.

Azam's big-hitting towards the end will clash with Jordan's yorkers and slower balls.

Spin-bowling all-rounders both may face off against each other in crucial overs, batting vs ball and with the ball as well.
