MUL vs LAH Match Preview

This is match 12 of the 2025 Pakistan Super League, and Islamabad United is currently leading the table with four wins from four games. However, for every high-flyer, there is a low-roller, and the Multan Sultans have been off the pace in their first three games and continue to search for their first victory of the tournament. Lahore Qalandars were defeated by Islamabad United in their first match, but they have since looked very strong, winning big against Quetta Gladiators and Karachi Kings. Multan Sultans obtained both meetings last year, but they could use a win by hook or crook this time, whereas the Lahore Qalandars will relish this head-to-head!

MUL vs LAH Key Players

Mohammad Rizwan

Rizwan has been going through a tough time in recent months. His strike rate has been in question despite consistent scores above 50. He was recently left out of the Test side to, which is considered an issue given the consistency he once had in the format.

Shaheen Shah Afridi

After hobbling off in the World Cup Final, Shaheen Shah Afridi is finally set to make a comeback. He has struggled with injury over the last six months quite a bit and will probably be closer to frustrated than ever as he makes his comeback, hoping his fitness and knee hold through.

MUL vs LAH 1st Match Probable Winners:

The Lahore Qalandars have a very strong bowling lineup and while they are missing a bit of batting strength, we still think they should be able to start with a win against the Multan Sultans. Lahore Qalandars have many new players in their batting line-up, and it will be interesting to see how these players team up. Their bowling is strong, but they must be on the money against a strong batting side. The Multan Sultans are a powerhouse with the bat and have depth in their bowling. Considering the team combination, Lahore Qalandars is expected to win this match.
