Pakistan Super League 2023, Match 3, Multan Sultans vs Quetta Gladiators: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report and Live Streaming Details

Multan Sultans and Quetta Gladiators will lock horns in the third game of the Pakistan Super League 2023 on Wednesday (February 15) at the Multan Cricket Stadium.

The Sultans, led by Mohammad Rizwan, didn’t have the rub of the green go their way in their opening game. They started their campaign with a one-run defeat against Shaheen Shah Afridi’s Lahore Qalandars on Monday at the Multan Cricket Stadium.

Mohammad Rizwan scored 75, but the Sultans fell short of their target by one run. Qalandars’ fast bowler Zaman Khan had to defend 14 runs off the final over, and although Khushdil Shah hit him for two fours in a row, the Qalandars survived.

The Gladiators, meanwhile, will want to get off to a winning start and have a strong squad at their disposal. Sarfaraz Ahmed has a truckload of experience and will want to bring that o the fore in his team’s opener.

Jason Roy, Martin Guptill and Will Smeed are powerful strikers of the ball. Iftikhar Ahmed recently played wonderfully for Fortuna Barishal in the BPL 2023. The focus will also be on Wanindu Hasaranga too, who has been a revelation in T20Is all over the world.
