Team Analysis
Despite Multan’s loss, captain Mohammad Rizwan stood out, smashing a century at a strike rate of 166.66 in their last game against Karachi. Unfortunately, the rest of the batting unit failed to support him. Shan Masood and Usman Khan looked out of touch, but if they regained form, Multan could post a challenging total. Similarly, Tayyab Tahir and David Willey provide strength and stability to the middle order and can add crucial runs to the total if they click in this match.
Bowling-wise, Multan’s main weapon is Akif Javed, who took three wickets in the last match but at a high cost, conceding 10 runs per over. Chris Jordan and Michael Bracewell are also in good rhythm and can play crucial roles in tightening the screws on Islamabad’s batting. However, unavailability of a senior and experienced spiner is the main deficiency in the Multani team and this particular aspect can prove to be quite costly for the former runner ups in this game against the most competitive team of the tournament.
On the other hand, Islamabad United has looked sharp in both batting and fielding departments, and they come in with fresh energy and flawless captaincy from Shadab Khan. His strategic bowling changes have paid off well. Their bowling lineup, featuring Faheem Ashraf and Hasan Ali, adds bite and experience, especially during the powerplay and death overs. Shahabzada Farhan, the younger star smashed a century in the game at an astonishing strike rate of 203.33. Fans are hoping to see a repaly of this young star’s batting talents once again in this match.
Conclusion
The match is taking place at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, a venue known for high-scoring games thanks to its flat pitch and short boundaries. This favors batters but also challenges bowlers to be disciplined. Key impact players for the match are Mohammad Rizwan and Chris Jordan from Multan, and Shadab Khan and Faheem Ashraf from Islamabad.
