Multan Sultans sit at the top of the PSL 2026 points table after registering a comfortable 6-wicket victory over Quetta Gladiators in their fourth match. With 3 wins and 1 loss from 4 games, they have shown strong form and will look to maintain their form in this match-up.
Multan possesses one of the most explosive batting units in the tournament. The opening duo of Sahibzada Farhan and Steve Smith has been outstanding. Farhan has scored 164 runs in 4 innings at a superb strike rate of 182.22 and an average of 54.67, highlighted by a brilliant unbeaten 106 off 57 balls against Hyderabad Kingsmen.
His partner, former Australia skipper Steve Smith, has contributed 139 runs in 4 innings at a strike rate of 157.95, including a well-crafted 53 runs off 35 balls against Quetta in the last game.
The middle order provides excellent depth and firepower. Explosive batter Arafat Minhas has smashed 82 runs in 4 innings at a blistering strike rate of 200.00. Former Pakistan captain Shan Masood brings calmness and acceleration, scoring 125 runs in 4 innings at an average of 41.67 and a strike rate of 178.57, including an unbeaten 46 off 30 balls in the win over Quetta.
Captain Ashton Turner has been the perfect finisher, scoring 103 runs in 4 innings at a strike rate of 177.59 and an incredible average of 103.00, remaining unbeaten three times.
Multan’s bowling has been effective when it matters. Mohammad Nawaz is the team’s leading wicket-taker with 5 wickets, including a match-winning spell of 3/30 against Quetta. Mohammad Wasim Jnr has taken 4 wickets, though he has been wicketless in the last two games.
All-rounder Arafat Minhas has chipped in with 3 wickets, including an impressive 2/14 against Quetta. Australian pacer Peter Siddle has claimed 3 wickets, while captain Ashton Turner and Mohammad Ismail have taken 2 wickets each. The attack offers a good mix of spin and pace.
Steve Smith Total Runs Over 28.5 @ 1.85
Steven Smith’s average comes around 39 runs in his last 5 games, which is comfortably above this line. He’s playing a key role in stabilizing the innings and building partnerships. In the previous match as well, he delivered with a composed 53. On a batting-friendly Lahore surface, if he spends time at the crease, this line looks well within reach.

Rawalpindiz have had a tough debut in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2026, losing all three matches so far. They started with a defeat to Peshawar Zalmi, followed by losses against Karachi Kings and most recently to Islamabad United by 7 wickets.
In their latest game, the Pindiz could only manage a modest 156/7 in 20 overs, which Islamabad chased comfortably in just 14.2 overs. The debutants are still searching for their first win and will be under pressure heading into this contest.
The batting has shown some promise, particularly in the first two games. Opener Yasir Khan has been the more aggressive of the top-order batters, scoring 93 runs in 3 innings at a strike rate of 160.34, highlighted by an impressive 83 against Peshawar. Captain Mohammad Rizwan has scored 64 runs at a more measured strike rate of 120.75.
New Zealand all-rounder Daryl Mitchell currently leads the run charts for Rawalpindiz with 107 runs in 3 innings at a strike rate of 155.07, including a fluent 65 runs off 41 balls against Karachi Kings.
Kamran Ghulam has provided solidity in the middle order with 97 runs, including a useful 50 off 39 balls in the last match. English batter Sam Billings adds depth and momentum having scored 83 runs at a strike rate of 153.70 and an average of 41.50.
The bowling department remains a major concern for the Rawalpindiz. Daryl Mitchell is the team’s leading wicket-taker with 3 wickets, all coming in the second game against Karachi, but he went wicketless against Islamabad. Veteran left-arm pacer Mohammad Amir has also picked up 3 wickets (one in each game) but has failed to make a significant impact.
Amad Butt and Rishad Hossain have taken 2 wickets each, while express pacer Naseem Shah has endured a disappointing start, managing just 1 wicket in 2 matches before being dropped for the game against Islamabad, much to the disappointment of fans and management.
Mohammad Rizwan Total Runs Over 25.5 @ 1.85
Rizwan’s average comes around 22 runs, which is slightly below this line. But context matters here. He’s the anchor of this batting unit, faces more deliveries than anyone else, and carries the responsibility of batting deep. On a flat pitch like Lahore, if he settles, he has the ability to convert starts and go beyond this line.

The weather forecast for this game is going to be bright and sunny. It's been mostly very hot and humid weather in Lahore over the last few days and it is likely to continue the same.

There is a 10-20% chance of rain a few hours before the match, but it should not interrupt the game.
