With this venue hosting its second match in three days, it will also be the second PSL 8 match for Sultans. Having lost the tournament opener on Monday at the same venue, Sultans will be having eyes on winning their first match of the season.
Gladiators, meanwhile, will be participating in their first PSL 2023 match on Wednesday. Gladiators, who had finished at the penultimate position during PSL 2022, will be having eyes on making amends from the ball go this time round.
Although Multan have won their last three matches in a row against Quetta, the latter doesn’t lack behind much in the overall MUL vs QUE head to head records. Played almost a year ago, the last match between these two teams had witnessed Multan registering the biggest-ever victory in the history of the PSL. In fact, the two biggest PSL victories (by runs) have come in the last three matches between these two teams.
