Multan Sultans vs Rawalpindiz Prediction & Preview – PSL 2026

Multan Sultans face Rawalpindiz in the 14th match of the 2026 Pakistan Super League at Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore, on 6 April.

Multan lead the table after a six-wicket win over Quetta Gladiators, their third victory in four games. Sahibzada Farhan has 164 runs in four innings at a strike rate above 180, including an unbeaten 106 off 57 against Hyderabad Kingsmen, and Steve Smith has 139 runs. Arafat Minhas has scored 82 at a strike rate of 200, Shan Masood 125 and captain Ashton Turner 103 while remaining unbeaten three times. Mohammad Nawaz leads the wicket-takers with five, with Mohammad Wasim Jr four and Peter Siddle three.

Rawalpindi Pindiz are still searching for a first win in their debut PSL season. They made 156 for 7 in their latest defeat, which Islamabad chased in 14.2 overs. Yasir Khan has 93 runs including 83 against Peshawar, Daryl Mitchell is the top scorer with 107, and Kamran Ghulam and Sam Billings have also contributed. Their bowling has been the concern, with Mitchell and Mohammad Amir on three wickets each.

We expect Multan Sultans to extend their run.

Probable playing XI

Pitch report

Gaddafi Stadium usually has a flat surface with consistent bounce and a fast outfield, producing high scores in limited-overs cricket. Seamers can get a little swing early, but the pitch becomes easier for batting. Spinners find some help in the middle overs without dominating. Dew often arrives in the evening and makes gripping the ball harder, so teams generally choose to chase.

Weather

Lahore is expected to be warm and pleasant on 6 April, with temperatures of 26–28°C at about 7:00 pm. Skies should be mostly clear to partly cloudy, the chance of rain is low, humidity moderate and winds light.

Expected scores

• 1st innings: 175–190
• 2nd innings: 165–185
