Pitch Analysis

Multan will host five games in PSL 2024 with the first game between Multan Sultans and Karahi Kings. Any team likes to win matches at home in the domestic T20 league and thus Multan too will need to figure out a way of winning all their home games. There have been no international T20 matches played at this venue.

So far 8 PSL matches have been played at this venue. Six matches have been won by the team batting first and just two games chasing. The trend in PSL has been about batting first and putting a total of above 200 runs and putting pressure on the opponent team. The hosts will look to follow the same template. 210 by Multan Sultans against Peshawar Zalmi is the highest total batting first at this venue.

Weather Impact On The Game

As said earlier, the weather conditions in the evening will be around 17 degrees with over 60 percent humidity. The expected dew might make the captain winning the toss want to bat second. However, in PSL teams batting first have had a better chance of winning. In the first two games so far the team batting first has won one and the team chasing one game each.

Conclusion

This is the first game for both teams in PSL 2024. Ideally, the home team is expected to have the advantage of knowing the conditions. However, the leadership experience in the Karachi Kings side might just make it their game as the experienced players are expected to dictate terms in the game.
