It is now match number 5 where the Multan Sultans will be hosting Islamabad United in the upcoming encounter. Both these teams have had great starts to the league already with wins under their belt. The Sultans had completely dominated the Karachi Kings in their previous encounter and Islamabad United chased down a target close to 200 with ease against the defending champions Lahore Qalandars.
The two players to watch out for are skipper Shadab Khan of Islamabad United, who is normally used for his leg spin bowling but gave a great performance with the bat after being promoted to number three. As for the Sultans, it was Reeza Hendricks who also gave one of the best performances in the league so far. This will be a test for both teams to see if they can continue their great form.

Pitch Report
The surface at the Multan Cricket Stadium has a two-faced nature to it. It seems like a typical hard surface to bat on at first. While the game progresses, it slows down. We saw in the previous game as well, where the Multan batters enjoyed a nice and flat surface, but as the game moved on to the second innings it kept getting slower. This is going to be a great contest between these two sides that we can’t wait to watch.
