Multan Sultans vs Islamabad United Predictions - Farhan to extend Islamabad’s winning run

Editor
Last updated: 22 Apr 2025

Islamabad United seem poised to continue their dominating streak in the league with four wins already under their belt. Multan Sultans, grappling with three consecutive losses, face an uphill battle despite earning a home advantage. Islamabad's Sahibzada Farhan and Colin Munro have delivered consistently strong performances, boosting their team's prospects. For Multan, Mohammad Rizwan remains the top scorer but requires greater team support. Key players such as Ashton Turner have yet to make an impact after being newly integrated into the squad following the withdrawal of Johnson Charles. Previous matchups suggest Islamabad's winning momentum is likely to persist.

Multan Sultans vs Islamabad United Predictions


The Sultans have lost their first three matches, while Islamabad have won their first four matches. The Sultans aren’t likely to provide much opposition to the in-form Islamabad side, despite having home ground advantage. 

  • Islamabad United’s Sahibzada Farhan has scored 25, 106, 53 & 30 in his last 4 innings.
  • Islamabad United’s Colin Munro has scored 59*, 40 & 48 in his last 4 innings.
  • Multan Sultans’ Mohammad Rizwan (158 runs) is his side’s leading run-scorer this season.
  • Multan Sultans’ Usman Khan top-scored with 44 off 22 balls against Peshawar Zalmi.

Head-to-Head


Islamabad United have won four and lost one of their last five games against Multan Sultans, including the last three in a row.

Multan Sultans Form


The Sultans suffered a crushing 120-run defeat at the hands of Peshawar Zalmi to make it three defeats in three.

Five of Zalmi’s top seven scored 34-plus to send the Zalmi score flying to 227/7 off their 20 overs. Ubaid Shah, David Willey and Michael Bracewell each picked up two wickets off their four overs. 

Usman Khan smashed a defiant 44 off 22 balls, but there was little other resistance as the Sultans crashed to 107 all out off 15.5 overs. 

Multan Sultans Team News


Aussie batter Ashton Turner was bowled for a golden duck in his PSL debut against Peshawar Zalmi. Turner has been called into the squad after the recent withdrawal of the injured West Indies opener Johnson Charles.

Islamabad United Form


Islamabad extended their winning run this season to four wins in four when they beat the Karachi Kings by six wickets. 

Shadab Khan (2/17, econ 4.25) and Naseem Shah (2/29, econ 7.25) were sensational with the ball as Islamabad rolled the Kings for 128/7 off their 20 overs. 

Sahibzada Farhan (30 off 18 balls) and Azam Khan (31) got the innings off to a strong start, setting up Shadab Khan (47 off 40) to guide Islamabad to the verge of a six-wicket win, with 17 balls in hand.

Islamabad United Team News


Islamabad’s Australian all-rounder Matthew Short has pulled out of the rest of the PSL through injury.

Verdict

I am backing Islamabad United to win. I am also backing Sahibzada Farhan to top score for Islamabad United.

Mohammad Rizwan is a good bet to top score for the Multan Sultans.
