Power Clash: Islamabad United Lock Horns with Multan Sultans

The 7th match of PSL 2025 brings a thrilling face-off between Islamabad United and Multan Sultans at the iconic Multan Cricket Stadium. Two of the tournament’s strongest line-ups will go head-to-head in what promises to be a high-voltage showdown between batting brilliance and bowling dominance.

Islamabad United – Bold, Balanced & Dangerous

Led by the dynamic Shadab Khan, Islamabad United are always a tactical side with explosive firepower. Alex Hales, Colin Munro, and Azam Khan make their top-order unpredictable and dangerous. Their bowling unit, powered by Hasan Ali and Faheem Ashraf, adds punch on any surface.

Multan Sultans – Tactical Titans at Home

Multan Sultans, captained by Mohammad Rizwan, have been one of the most consistent teams in recent PSL seasons. Their home advantage in Multan could prove decisive. With big hitters like Rilee Rossouw, Kieron Pollard, and the ever-reliable Ihsanullah with the ball, Sultans look sharp in all departments.

Players to Watch

• Mohammad Rizwan – The anchor and skipper, calm under pressure.

• Shadab Khan – Islamabad’s all-rounder and tactical mastermind.

• Alex Hales – Can change the game within a few overs.

• Ihsanullah – Speed, bounce, and control – a threat on home turf.

Pitch & Match Prediction

Multan’s pitch favors batters but offers something for pacers under lights. A high-scoring match is likely. While United’s depth is impressive, Sultans’ familiarity with home conditions might just give them the winning edge.
