ISL vs MUL Key Players

Mohammad Nawaz

Mohammad Nawaz has had a good year as an all-rounder in limited overs cricket and is doing a fine job with both bat and ball. His ability in the middle-order and the control he provides with the ball in the middle-overs leaves him as a potential threat to be one of the more impactful players in the tournament.

Shan Masood

Shan Masood looked promising as an opener in the opening game. His batting and the left-arm option he gives at the top leaves Multan and Pakistan too looking at new uses for Shan Masood.

ISL vs MUL Match Tips

Multan Sultans could be at an advantage with their skill and depth despite Islamabad being just as good in the current tournament.

Match Prediction: Multan Sultans Will Win the Match
