Multan Sultans have won one and lost one of their only two meetings with the Kingsmen, both of which were during this season’s group stages.

Multan Sultans Form

After clinching back-to-back wins to secure their place in the playoffs, the Sultans lost their last two group matches, both by four wickets.

Their last defeat was to United, with the Sultans posting a competitive score of 192/7 off their 20 overs. Openers Sahibzada Farhan (30) and Steven Smith (30) added 60 for the 1st wicket before Shan Masood top-scored with 44 off 33 balls.

United clinched the win with 8 balls to spare, with Faisal Akram returning the best figures with the ball for the Sultans (2/41).

Hyderabad Kingsmen Form

After losing their opening four matches of the season the Kingsmen won four on the bounce, lost to United and then bounced back with a 108-run win over Rawalpindiz.

The Kingsmen racked up a monster score of 244/6 off their 20 overs. Usman Khan (54 off 26) and Kusal Perera (50* off 30) did the early heavy lifting before Glenn Maxwell hit 11 boundaries in a 37-ball score of 70.

The Kingsmen bowlers struck hard in the 10th over with Rawalpindiz well set at 94/3, knocking over their last nine batters for just 42 runs.

Akif Javed (3/38) and Hunain Shah (4/22) did the damage with the ball as they secured a 108-run win to snatch a place in the playoffs in the last group match of the tournament. Akif Javed returned figures of 2/25, 3/30 and 3/38 in his last four matches.
