MUL vs KAR, Match 11: Top Five Picks
- Mohammad Rizwan (MUL): Multan Sultans skipper Mohammad Rizwan is the leading run-scorer of PSL 8, averaging 73.00 with three half-centuries in 4 innings. He is the in-form batter and has been in stellar form in the T20 format over the past two years.
- Rilee Rossouw (MUL): Rizwan's teammate Rilee Rossouw is the second-highest run-getter this season, as his average is 94.50 with two half-centuries. The left-handed South African is also the man in form, and picking him for this fixture is a good choice.
- Ihsanullah (MUL): 20-year-old right-arm fast bowler Ihsanullah has taken the eighth edition of PSL by storm with his pace, as he is the leading wicket-taker in the tournament so far. He is averaging just 7.66 with the best bowling figures of 5/12.
- Haider Ali (KAR): 22-year-old right-handed young batter Haider Ali has yet to make a great impact in the competition. He has scored one fifty in 4 innings and would look to add more to his tally against the Sultans.
- Shoaib Malik (KAR): Veteran Pakistani player Shoaib Malik has been doing the bulk of the scoring for the Kings as he is their leading run-getter with 151 runs in 4 outings. Malik is always a reliable and safe option in this format with his experience.
