Reeza Hendricks - Reeza Hendricks has struck the most runs for the Sultans. The right-handed South African has smashed 286 runs at a solid average of 57.2 which includes three half-centuries. The in-form opening batter is a must pick for captain/vice-captain choice.

KAR vs MUL - High Risk, High Reward
Mohammad Nawaz (KAR) - All-rounder Mohammad Nawaz has scores of 28, 6, and 15 in the last three matches. The spin bowler has picked up two wickets in the campaign thus far. The middle-order player is due for a valuuable knock under his belt and this maybe the fixture in which he delivers big with the bat.

KAR vs MUL - Stay Aways
Shan Masood (KAR) - Skipper Shan Masood has just not been able to get going in PSL 9. The left-handed opening player has scored only 81 runs in five innings at a poor average of 16.2 and with the highest score of 30. The 34-year old has not looked in good nick and can be clearly overlooked.
Khushdil Shah (MUL) - Khushdil Shah has managed to amass just 40 runs in six innings so far. The right-handed player bats lower down the order and can be avoided for this fixture. The 29-year old is averaging only 20 with the best score of 28 not out.
