Team analysis

Sultans of Multan

Multan Sultans will be led by Mohammad Rizwan. He has been leading the franchise for the past few seasons. Along with him, the batting strength of the team lies in Dawid Mala Reeza Hendricks, Johnson Charles and Mohammad Shahzad.

Chris Jordan, Usama Mir and David Willey will take care of the bowling. There are several all-rounders who add a lot of strength to the team. The team won the PSL title in 2021. Since then, Mohmmad Rizwan has become an integral member of the Pakistan team.

Kings of Karachi

Karachi Kings will be led by Shan Masood, who is the Test captain of the team. The franchise parted ways with Babar Azam last season and Mohammad Amir at the start of this season. While Azam was transferred to Peshawar Zalmi last season, Amir joined the Quetta Gladiators ahead of PSL 2024.

The Karachi team has a lot of experience with players like Kieron Pollard and Shoaib Malik in the team. Both have played in T20 leagues around the world and have gained a lot of experience playing and leading various teams. Pollard is the most capped T20 player in the world. Therefore, there is no lack of leadership experience in the team.

Key factors

Field conditions

PSL 2024 matches will be played at four venues in Pakistan, namely Lahore, Multan, Karachi and Rawalpindi. Each of the four venues has betting grounds, which is why the PSL league has seen the highest scoring matches. No international T20 has been played at this venue. However, historically, teams that bat first have had the most success here.

Form and fitness

For the hosts, captain Mohammad Rizwan will be the most important batsman for the Multan Sultans. Being the captain, he is more likely to open the batting and is expected to score a lot of runs. With the ball, players like Chris Jordan and Usama Mir will be the key shooters.

Karachi Kings will rely on players like Shoaib Malik and Kieron Pollard to win games. Both highly experienced T20 players will have to help their captain Shan Maoosn in making key decisions. There are no injury concerns on either side heading into this game.

Tactical insight

Both are very new captains in terms of their experience in the T20 league. Both have led Pakistan in the past, but not with great success, so their potential as captains is not yet fully known. Both sides have many experienced T20 cricketers and managing them will be a major concern for both captains.
