PSL 7: Islamabad United vs Multan Sultans – Match 8 - Preview, Playing XI, Live Streaming Details, and Updates

The 8th match of the PSL 2022 is between Islamabad United and Multan Sultans. The two teams have started their campaign on a winning note, but Islamabad has only played a single game so far. Multan Sultans, on the other hand, has played three games and won all of them. They currently stand at the top of the table. The credit for their winning streak goes to the entire team.

The defending champions have displayed a great team effort, with most of the players performing well in the first three games. Shaan Masood and Mohammad Rizwan were expected to give these performances, but Imran Tahir has been an unexpected positive for them. They won their first two games chasing the target, and they won the third match by defending the total.

Islamabad was convincing in the first match as well. The batsmen had complete control of the game while chasing a par total. Bowlers, however, have not had enough time to show their match-winning abilities. Shadab Khan and Hasan Ali are the senior bowlers of the team, and their experience can bring them a few wins in the future.

Pitch Report

The National Stadium wicket is a good one to bat on, but it being a typical Asian wicket, has something on the offer for spinners as well. Any score over 175 will be a par score here. The team winning the toss would want to bowl first in these conditions.
