MUL vs KAR Match Preview

The Karachi Kings will face the Multan Sultans in Match 19 of the 2024 Pakistan Super League on Sunday evening at the National Stadium. The Kings have only two wins from their first five games, while the Sultans have won five of their six. Karachi Kings enter this game after losing to Quetta Gladiators by five wickets and Islamabad United by seven wickets in their previous two games. As they face off, it is possible that they will suffer three defeats in a row. Multan Sultans not only thrashed Lahore Qalandars in their last game, but they did so with two of their key players, Mohammad Rizwan and Mohammad Ali, failing to contribute with either bat or ball.

Topmost Picks for MUL vs KAR Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – Multan Sultans

• Mohammad Rizwan- with an average of 55 in the tournament last year, the keeper-batter was pretty much unstoppable and he will be keen to get off to a flying start once again.
• Shahnawaz Dahani- the tall right-arm fast medium bowler had a very strong PSL two seasons ago and, with a T20 strike-rate of 15.3, we can expect him to be very tough to face once again.

Top Picks – Karachi Kings

• Shoaib Malik- the 42 year old has hit 82 half-centuries in T20 cricket and he is a vastly experienced player in Pakistan conditions. He has hit over 1000 fours in this format.
• Mohammad Nawaz- the all-rounder has been in fine form in international cricket and in the BPL over recent months. He is capable of making a big contribution with both bat and ball.

Suggested Playing XI N0.1 for MUL vs KAR Dream11 Team:

Mohammad Rizwan, Usman Khan, Reeza Hendricks(C), Shan Masood, Kieron Pollard(VC), Shoaib Malik, Mohammad Nawaz, Iftikhar Ahmed, Usama Mir, Hasan Ali, Mohammad Ali

MUL vs KAR Probable Winners:

Karachi Kings have put together a stronger team than last year, and we expect them to be much more competitive. However, Multan Sultans were one of the top teams last year, and many pundits believed they should have won the final. We expect them to get off to a winning start on Sunday. Considering the team combination, Karachi Kings is expected to win this match.
