ISL vs MUL: Islamabad United's Predicted Playing XI Against Multan Sultans– Pakistan Super League 2022, Match 08

Islamabad United have made a positive start to their PSL 2022 campaign. They registered a clinical nine-wicket win over Peshawar Zalmi on Sunday. After restricting Peshawar Zalmi for 168 in the first innings, Islamabad United chased down the score with ease in just 15.5 overs with 9 wickets in hand.

Ahead of their second game against Multan Sultans on Tuesday, they would look to replicate a similar performance. In this article, let’s take a look at our predicted playing XI of Islamabad United against Multan Sultans.

ISL vs MUL: Islamabad United’s Predicted Playing XI Against Multan Sultans– Pakistan Super League 2022, Match 08

Openers: Paul Sterling and Alex Hales

Islamabad United boast of two powerful openers in their team i.e., Paul Sterling and Alex Hales. The duo showcased their batting prowess in the last game against Peshawar Zalmi. Paul Sterling scored 57 runs in just 25 deliveries, while Alex Hales remained unbeaten 82 off 54 balls.

Middle-Order: Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Mubasir Khan, Azam Khan and Asif Ali

Rahmanullah Gurbaz played some attractive shots in his uneaten 16-ball 27-run cameo in the last game. He scored two mouth-watering sixes during his stay at the crease. It will be interesting to see how well he bats this season for Islamabad United.

The middle-order didn’t get the opportunity to bat in the last game. Thus, you expect Mubasir Khan, Azam Khan and Asif Ali to retain their place in the playing XI.

All-rounders: Faheem Ashraf and Shadab Khan

Both bowled exceedingly well in the last game. Faheem Ashraf was brilliant in the power play overs, while skipper Shadab Khan applied pressure in the middle-overs. Faheem Ashraf ended up picking 2 for 23 in 4 overs, while Shadab Khan picked 1 for 28 in 4 overs. Both will be key to Islamabad United’s fortune in the big game on Tuesday.

Bowlers: Mohammad Wasim Jr., Hasan Ali, and Marchant de Lange

Hasan Ali was brilliant with his variations in the last game. He varied his pace wonderfully and ensured that he doesn’t give away too many loose deliveries. Hasan Ali finished with figures of 2 for 34 runs in 4 overs. Mohammad Wasim Jr. and Merchant de Lange, though, had forgettable outings with the ball but one would expect them to bounce back strongly in the next match.
