The Quetta Gladiators captain Sarfaraz Ahmed has decided to bowl first in the match.
Multan Sultans are in terrific form, leading the points table after upstaging both Karachi Kings and Lahore Qalandars in their initial two matches.
The seventh edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) will once again see two of the best contemporary wicketkeeper-batters from Pakistan lead their sides as Sultans of Multan will march behind Mohammad Rizwan and Gladiators of Quetta behind Sarfaraz Ahmed.
Sarfaraz has been at the forefront of Pakistan’s T20 revolution, leading the side to record series wins and guiding them to the no.1 spot in the ICC T20I Team Rankings in the process. It is because of his outstanding record at the helm for both Pakistan and Quetta Gladiators that he remains the only player to be leading his franchise since the outset of the league. He has the seventh most runs (1,189 at 31.28 at a strike rate of 128.26) in the tournament.
In a statement issued by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), it was highlighted that Rizwan has had a superlative 2021.
“He rewrote the history books by becoming the only batter in the history of the game to score over a thousand T20I runs in a calendar year, smashing 1,326 runs at a staggering average of 73.66 and a strike rate of 134.89,” the statement read.
