PSL 2021 Match 9: KAR vs MUL Dream11 Prediction Possible Playing 11 Pitch Report | KAR vs MUL Dream11 Prediction Today | Karachi Kings vs Multan Sultans Key Players | Karachi Pitch Report
Karachi Kings will be taking on Multan Sultan for the 9th league match of PSL 2021.
Skipper Rizwan was in blitz mode against Qalandars and helped his side secure their first win of the tournament. It was also Multan’s first win after five consecutive losses, three of which came in the last season. Multan bowlers were impressive with the ball and restricted Qalandars to 157 which was always going to be a below-par total on Karachi Wicket. Now they would like to build some momentum and get two consecutive wins in as many matches.
Meanwhile, defending Champions suffered a loss in their previous match against United. Karachi openers Sharjeel (105 off 59 balls) & Babar (62 off54 balls) wreaked havoc on United bowled and piled a total of 196 runs in 20 overs. However, that was not enough in the end and United registered their highest chase in PSL history.
The late Prof Dean ‘Deano’ Jones went against all the odds and backed Sharjeel to come good in the last season and better late than never Sharjeel lived up to the expectations and scored his 2nd century in PSL. Deano would be smiling up from heaven and proud of his Boys!
Key Players to Watch/Key Stats
Multan Sultans
- Mohammad Rizwan – Rizwan is topping the run chart with 188 runs in 3 matches. All eyes will be on him how he performs against his previous team Kings, which benched him for the whole season and picked Chadwick Walton. The skipper is in magnificent form.
- Carlos Braithwaite- On several occasions, we have found that Consistency and Carlos don’t go well together. But, for a change, the Windies All-Rounder is showing some ominous signs with the ball and can fetch good fantasy points as he is bowling crucial overs.
- Braithwaite has just played once against Karachi and scored 8 runs and picked up a wicket.
- James Vince- After missing out against Qalandars Vince would be looking to be back among the runs. He has just played one game against Kings and scored 16 runs.
- Chris Lynn – has missed out in the last three games now and there will be pressure on him to perform, especially when he is occupying an overseas slot and Shan Masood in on the bench. He will be a good pick in Grand leagues.
- Shahid Afridi would be looking to bounce back and pick crucial wickets after recording his worst figures in a T20 match. If he plays he will be a good pick in Grand League.
Karachi Kings
- Babar Azam – King Babar is a world-class player. He scored 473 runs at an average of 59.12 last season and is a favorite again to top the run charts again. In 7 matches against Sultans, he has scored 225 runs at an average of 45 with the best score of 77.
- Sharjeel Khan – Karachi Opener would be high on confidence after a swash-buckling century and will take confidence against Sultans and look to improve his numbers. He just has 20 runs in 3 matches against Multan.
- Mohammad Amir- After Karachi failed to defend a mammoth total of 196 runs in their previous encounter, they need Amir to step up as he is leading the bowling attack. He has 8 Wickets in 4 matches against them.
