Pakistan Super League 2023, Qualifier, Lahore Qalandars vs Multan Sultans: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, and Live Streaming Details
Lahore Qalandars and Multan Sultans will lock horns in the Qualifier of the Pakistan Super League 2023 on Wednesday, March 15. The match will take place at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore.
The Qalandars, led by Shaheen Shah Afridi, were the standout team in the league stage after finishing on the top of the table with 14 points and a net run rate of +0.915. They were the first team to advance to the playoffs and cement their place in the top two.
The Qalandars' last league game against Imad Wasim’s Karachi Kings, which they lost by 86 runs, was inconsequential. Skipper Shaheen also rested himself, keeping in mind the rest he needed before the all-important playoffs.
The Sultans, on the other hand, started their campaign with four wins in five matches at their home ground in Multan. But thereafter, they went on a three-match losing streak. Mohammad Rizwan’s men made a comeback with a four-wicket win after chasing down 243 against Peshawar Zalmi.
Ahead of their last league game, the Sultans needed a win to go from third to second in the points table. Instead of crumbling under pressure, they defeated Quetta Gladiators by nine runs to push Islamabad United to third in the table.
