PSL 2025: Multan Sultans vs Karachi Kings – Player Battles to Watch Out For

Match: Multan Sultans vs Karachi Kings
Date: May 1st, 2025
Time: 7:30 PM PKT
Venue: Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore

Key Player Battles

Mohammad Rizwan vs. Hasan Ali
Multan skipper Rizwan is known for his calm starts, but experienced pacer Hasan Ali will be eager to remove him early and disrupt the momentum.

Usman Khan vs. Mohammad Nabi
Usman has been in strong form, but Nabi’s smart off-spin could prove tricky, especially if he bowls during the powerplay or middle overs.

Chris Jordan vs. David Warner
Two overseas players are pitted against each other. Jordan's death-over expertise may be tested by Warner's big-hitting if he remains till the end.

Iftikhar Ahmed and Abbas Afridi
Iftikhar is a big-hitter, particularly during the later overs. But Afridi's fast yorkers and slower deliveries might be instrumental in stifling the Sultans' finish.

Yasir Khan and Mir Hamza
Yasir can try to take charge of the first ten overs, but Hamza's left-arm swing at Lahore can provide early difficulties.

Multan Sultans (MUL) take on Karachi Kings (KAR) in Match 20 of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2025 at Multan Cricket Stadium, Multan. MUL's power-packed batting, led by Mohammad Rizwan and Michael Bracewell, matches up against KAR's explosive batting lineup, captained by David Warner and James Vince. These two teams will also be playing on a good batting pitch that will be fruitful for lots of runs.

MUL has a narrow head-to-head edge, as they have won 7 times and lost to KAR 6 times in 15 matches.

MUL vs KAR Probable Winners:

Multan Sultans performed well in the 2024 PSL season, reaching the finals. The Karachi Kings failed to advance to the playoffs. We believe the Multan Sultans have selected a smarter squad and will be able to begin their PSL 2025 campaign off to a good start. Considering the team combination, Karachi Kings is expected to win this match.

MUL vs KAR Match Preview

The Karachi Kings will face the Multan Sultans in Match 19 of the 2024 Pakistan Super League on Sunday evening at the National Stadium. The Kings have only two wins from their first five games, while the Sultans have won five of their six. Karachi Kings enter this game after losing to Quetta Gladiators by five wickets and Islamabad United by seven wickets in their previous two games. As they face off, it is possible that they will suffer three defeats in a row. Multan Sultans not only thrashed Lahore Qalandars in their last game, but they did so with two of their key players, Mohammad Rizwan and Mohammad Ali, failing to contribute with either bat or ball.

MUL vs KAR Key Players

Imad Wasim

Imad Wasim has been in really good form in domestic tournaments around the World. He was really good in the CPL last year and has gotten off to a really good start with the bat in the ongoing PSL. With impactful performances using both bat and ball, Imad Wasim is a huge threat and can make long strides in this season.

Shan Masood

Shan Masood looked promising as an opener in the opening game. His batting and the left-arm option he gives at the top leaves Multan and Pakistan too looking at new uses for Shan Masood.
