Sparks are expected to fly at the Multan Cricket Stadium as the Multan Sultans(MUL) lock horns with the winless Lahore Qalandars(LAH) in a highly anticipated Match 7 of the Pakistan Super League. The Sultans, buoyed by their opening victory, return home riding a wave of confidence. Their batting lineup, with its firepower and local advantage, seems primed to dominate. The bowling attack, despite featuring in just one game, has already shown glimpses of brilliance.
However, the Qalandars, despite their disappointing start, shouldn't be underestimated. This well-rounded squad boasts some absolute stars, hungry to silence their critics and secure their first win of the season. The stage is set for a clash of titans, with both teams determined to prove their mettle.

MUL vs LAH, Pitch Report and Playing Conditions
The Multan Cricket Stadium pitch is a batsman's paradise where boundaries flow freely. It is essentially a dream come true for stroke-makers who can unleash their inner gladiator. However, unlike some of the other surfaces in Pakistan, this one is not a one-trick wonder. As the drama unfolds, the pitch transforms, offering a subtle shift in the balance of power. While early overs might see batsmen carving through the bowling, the later stages can bring a welcome change. The dry surface, once a batsman's ally, becomes a spinner's weapon, offering grip and turn that can weave a web of deception.
