The in-form Multan Sultans (MUL) side will take on Pawalpindiz (RAP) in Match No. 31 of the ongoing Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2026 at the National Stadium in Karachi on Tuesday, April 21.

Multan Sultans have enjoyed a strong campaign so far and are firmly in contention for a playoff spot. With a well-balanced squad and consistent performances across departments, they have managed to stay ahead in crucial moments. Currently, they are second in the points table with five wins in just seven matches.

On the other hand, Rawalpindiz are having a horrible run this season. Despite boasting a solid lineup, they have struggled to maintain consistency, which has impacted their position on the points table. In the first seven matches, they have lost all of their games so far in PSL 2026.

With both teams eyeing valuable points, an exciting contest is on the cards in Karachi.

The National Stadium in Karachi has hosted 15 matches so far in PSL 2026. Eight out of the 15 games have been won by chasing teams, whereas seven have been won by the batting-first side. So, the captain who wins the toss will have to make a tough choice, but since it is a night game, chasing can be a better option. The pitch at the National Stadium so far has been offering a balanced wicket this season, with assistance for both batters and bowlers.

Mohammad Rizwan (c), Shahzaib Khan, Yasir Khan, Daryl Mitchell, Sam Billings (wk), Dian Forrester, Saad Masood, Cole McConchie, Razaullah, Asif Afridi, Mohammad Amir.

Awais Zafar, Steven Smith, Josh Philippe (wk), Shan Masood, Ashton Turner (c), Arafat Minhas, Mohammad Nawaz, Mohammad Imran Randhawa, Mohammad Wasim Jr, Peter Siddle, Momin Qamar.

The wicketkeeper batter from Australia, Josh Philippe, will be the batter to watch out for in this contest. The right-hander has been in good form so far in PSL 2026, scoring 215 runs in just seven games for his side. What makes his performance even better is his strike rate. He has scored runs at a strike rate of 170.63.

The left-arm spinner Arafat Minhas has been a standout bowler for his side, the Multan Sultans, in PSL 2026. Arafat has picked up eight wickets in just seven matches for his side, with an impressive bowling average of 17.38. If there is a hint of turn on the pitch, he can be a deadly asset for his side.
