The Pakistan Super League(PSL) 2024 is on the song and this time we will talk about the second game in the upcoming double-header. This time it is the Multan Sultans(MUL) who will be facing off against the Lahore Qalandars(LAH). The last time these two teams faced each other was in the dramatic final of 2023. That was the day the Lahore Qalandars came out on top and won their second PSL title by 1 run.
However, the times are different this time around and the defending champions have not been in the best of form. The Lahore Qalandars have lost both their matches at home. On the other hand, the Sultans are going into this contest with a big win against the Karachi Kings last game. This is still the battle of the two finalists from last season and we will be in for a thrilling game between these two teams once again.

Pitch Report
The last game in Multan turned out to be a wicket which had a two-faced nature. The pitch seemed like a friendly batting wicket at first but gradually slowed down as the game progressed. The Sultans took advantage of this situation in the last game they played. We are in for a treat as this is a perfect wicket that is something for both the batters and the bowlers. The best option on this wicket will be to bat first and put the opposition under pressure.
