Islamabad United vs Multan Sultans Preview
Islamabad United are playing their best cricket lately as they defeated Karachi Kings by five wickets in their last game on Thursday in Match 24. They must bring their best game against Multan Sultans if they don’t want to depend on the other teams for qualification.
On the other hand, Multan Sultans will come into this game on a Sunday afternoon still top of the table despite their narrow loss to Peshawar Zalmi in their last game. Their place in the playoffs is already guaranteed. Therefore, we expect them to play with freedom in this match.
The skipper Shadab Khan has been the top run-scorer with Agha Salman for Islamabad as Salman scored 262 runs in eight innings and Shadab scored 224 runs in eight innings. Shadab is also the leading wicket-taker with ten wickets in eight innings, followed by Naseem Shah, who took nine in seven matches.
The all-rounder Faheem Ashraf comes into this clash after an exceptional all-round performance against Karachi Kings, where he finished off with 12 not out of 8 balls, took 2/16 and grabbed two catches in the field. Tymal Mills was superb in the last game, where he picked up 3/34.
Reeza Hendricks (304 runs in 7 innings) and Mohammad Rizwan (277 runs in 8 innings) are the highest run scorers for Multan. They are at No. 3 and 4 among the top five batters list.
Usama Mir (18 wickets in 8 innings) and Mohammad Ali (14 wickets in 8 innings) are the highest wicket-takers and the top two bowlers among the top five. David Willey has been consistent and economical throughout the tournament. Chris Jordan looked apart in the lost cause against Peshawar as he picked 2/33.
