MS vs LQ, PSL 2023: Multan Cricket Stadium, Multan pitch history and T20 records

The PSL 2023 will kick off tonight at the Multan Cricket Stadium with a rematch of last year's final between Multan Sultans (MS) and Lahore Qalandars (LQ). Multan were quite dominant in the previous Pakistan Super League season, but they fell short in the summit clash against Lahore.

The Sultans will be keen to avenge that loss as they prepare to start the new season on their home turf. The Qalandars, on the other hand, will aim to kick off their title defense with a win against one of the best teams in the recent history of the PSL.

Before PSL 2023 gets underway in Multan, here are some vital stats and numbers you need to know from previous T20s hosted by this venue.
