Multan Sultans vs. Islamabad United
Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore
20.02.2022, 17:30
With 8 games played, Islamabad United has managed to only win 3, which were in the Karachi leg of the tournament. With injuries circulating in the Islamabad camp, they have been totally pushed against the wall. Asif Ali, the vice-captain of Islamabad United, is captaining the side in the absence of Shadab Khan, who was too good for his boys in the Karachi leg of the season. Since the injury of Shadab Khan and Hassan Ali, Islamabad United is suffering from turmoil, which is likely to take them out of the race of qualifiers. At the start of the tournament, Islamabad United was very strong on paper and on the field, but with the tournament progressing, they have lost their rhythm and positive vibes.

Islamabad United- Looking to Get Back on the Winning Track

Their batting card starts with power hitters, and the tail of power hitters continues down till number 11. With many players missing from the regular lineup, Islamabad stands no or very minimal chance of winning against Multan Sultans, who are totally unmatchable. Going in the game against Multan Sultans, Asif Ali needs to play a captain’s knock and get his team to the all-important qualifier stages. Moreover, Faheem Ashraf needs to stand up and lead his bowling attack with a very professional and agile attitude on match day.
