Multan Cricket Stadium T20 records: Multan Cricket Stadium records and highest innings totals

Pakistan Super League has returned to the Multan Cricket Stadium after almost three years. With the eighth season of the tournament being entirely scheduled to be played in Pakistan, top cities of the country were always expected to host matches.

Since last hosting a PSL match, this iconic stadium has hosted 31 National T20 Cup matches. As far as international matches are concerned, Multan has hosted a Test match and three ODIs in this period. Interestingly (more surprisingly), the venue is yet to host a T20I.

One of the four venues shortlisted to host PSL 8 matches, Multan will be hosting only five (least among all the four venues) league matches throughout the season. That being said, cricket fans residing in the city would still be enthralled to throng the stadium in order to not miss an opportunity of watching numerous international cricketers do their thing.
