Multan Sultans vs Quetta Gladiators Prediction: Teams occupy the top two spots

Multan Sultans and Quetta Gladiators are going head to head in the 11th Match of the Pakistan Super League at Multan International Cricket Stadium, Multan City, Pakistan on 25 Feb 2024. The teams occupy the top two spots in the PSL table. Who will win this game of cricket?

Before suffering their first defeat of the 2024 PSL season against Peshawar Zalmi, Multan had secured victories against the Karachi Kings, Islamabad United, and Lahore Qalandars. They are now looking to bounce back with a win against the Gladiators.

Reeza Hendricks has been the leading run-scorer for the Sultans in this season's tournament. This is his debut season in the PSL and he has scored 174 runs in four innings at an average of 50, with a strike rate of nearly 130 runs per 100 deliveries.

The Gladiators are currently the only undefeated team in the ongoing PSL season, having secured victories against Zalmi, Qalandars, and United in successive matches. A potential fourth win in their upcoming match could demonstrate their strong title contention this year to both fans and critics. England player Jason Roy has been leading the team in runs this season, scoring 136 runs in three innings. His exceptional form in the SA20 and International League T20 has carried over to the Pakistan Super League, making this year a significant one for him in both global and domestic T20 cricket. Abrar Ahmed has also been a standout performer for Quetta this season, showcasing his skills as one of the top wrist spinners in the tournament. With six wickets taken in three innings, Ahmed has troubled many batters with his deceptive flight, extra bounce, and sharp turn.
