Match Prediction – Multan Sultans vs Lahore Qalandars, 3 rd Match Pakistan Super League 2022

Multan Sultans will be up against Lahore Qalandars in the third match of the Pakistan Super League. Multan Sultans have already begun their campaign with a win while this will be the first match for Lahore Qalandars this season.

Multan Sultans began their title defence in style with a rather comfortable win against Karachi Kings to kick off the Pakistan Super League season. Imran Tahir ran riot with the ball and his spell of 3/14 in four overs capsized Karachi Kings and restricted them to a meager total of 124/5. The likes of Babar Azam, Mohammad Nabi and Joe Clarke failed to make a mark.

Babar Azam’s opening partner in international fun88 Mohammad Rizwan led the run-chase for Multan Sultans. His spectacular form in limited overs fun88 sees no signs of stopping and it was his unbeaten half-century that took Sultans past the finishing line with seven wickets in hand and with 10 deliveries to spare.

Lahore Qalandars will be playing their first match of the tournament here against the defending champions. The quality of the opposition might be a tad unnerving for the side and they will be hoping for a much better campaign compared to last season.

Qalandars were very unfortunate in PSL 2021. They had won five of their first six matches and needed just another win to book their spot in the playoffs. However, they ended up losing all the remaining games and got dragged into the playoff race. Despite finishing with the same number of points (10) as Multan Sultans, Peshawar Zalmi and Karachi Kings, they were unable to qualify for the playoffs because of their net run rate of -0.589 which was the second lowest in the entire league. As a result, they finished the league stages in fifth position.

Multan Sultans have a narrow advantage over Lahore Qalandars in the head-to-head battle between the two sides. Sultans have won five matches while Qalandars have been victorious on four occasions. Lahore Qalandars, however, have won more matches recently.

Who will win today’s match – Multan Sultans vs Lahore Qalandars, 3rd Match Pakistan Super League 2022?

This one might be a little difficult to call. Although Multan Sultans have already gotten off the blocks and will be more confident after picking up a win in the first match, Lahore Qalandars have a terrific squad, at least on paper. They will be hoping to surprise the defending champions and one can expect the Qalandars to begin their campaign with a major statement.

Lahore Qalandars possess one of the most feared bowling units in the entire league. Shaheen Afridi’s exploits in 2021 need little mention while Rashid Khan is the premium T20 spinner in the entire world. Haris Rauf also brings with him plenty of intensity and pace and can trouble opposition batters.
