MUL vs KAR PSL Dream11 Team Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips & Playing 11 Updates for Today's PSL Match - Nov 14th, 2020
The playoffs of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2020 are finally here, and the Qualifier has the Multan Sultans taking on the Karachi Kings at the National Stadium on Saturday.
The table-toppers at the end of the league phase, the Multan Sultans have been brilliant so far. Under the captaincy of Shan Masood, the Sultans have struck a nice balance between bat and ball, with the likes of Imran Tahir and Zeeshan Ashraf standing out. Rilee Rossouw has also been good for the Sultans, but they are in for a stern test in the form of the Karachi Kings.
Led by Imad Wasim, the Kings have a strong bowling attack spearheaded by Mohammad Amir. Their batting lineup is almost equally potent, with the power-packed trio of Sharjeel Khan, Alex Hales and national captain Babar Azam set to join forces again.
Azam, who topped the run-scoring charts in the league stage, will be key to their fortunes, and the Kings have the experience of Delport and Iftikhar Ahmed to fall back on as well.
Although both teams look well-matched on paper, the Kings might fancy their chances owing to their superior bowling strength. However, it is anybody's game at the moment with both teams looking to make it to the final in one go.
With some of the best players in the world taking to the field on Saturday, we should be in for a cracking game of cricket to kickstart to the PSL playoffs.

Pitch Report
The pitch at the National Stadium in Karachi is a decent one to bat on, with 160-170 representing a par score. While the pacers will get some help early on, the spinners should come into play as the match progresses.
Wickets in hand will be key for both sides, and the side that clinches the middle overs is likely to go on to win the game. With this being an afternoon fixture, both teams will look to bat first on a pitch that shouldn't change much over the course of the game.
