The Multan Sultans are set to take on the Rawalpindiz in Match 14 of the PSL 2026 at the Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore, on Monday, April 6, at 7:30 PM (IST).

This will be the Multan Sultans' second match on consecutive days after going head-to-head against the Quetta Gladiators on Sunday night, and they will have a shot at going top of the table. After being introduced to the league, the Rawalpindiz are yet to get off the mark in the points table, losing three in three to start PSL 2026.

Ahead of the Sunday night fixture, opener Sahibzada Farhan is Multan Sultans' leading run-scorer, with 132 runs in three innings, including the only century of the competition so far. With the ball, Mohammad Wasim has gotten 4 wickets in 3 innings, followed by Peter Siddle's 3 scalps in 3 matches.

As they take on the Rawalpindiz for the first time in PSL history, we explore their predicted XI for the Monday night match.

Multan Sultans Predicted Playing XI vs Rawalpindiz

Top Order: Sahibzada Farhan, Steve Smith, Josh Philippe (wk)

Coming off a successful T20 World Cup on a personal level, Sahibzada Farhan has started PSL 2026 with a century in the second innings for the Sultans. Having scored 132 runs in 3 innings at a strike rate of 173.68, he will continue to open the batting for them.

The star overseas player in the Multan Sultans' squad, Steve Smith, is their third-highest scorer in PSL 2026 after 3 games, with 86 runs in 3 innings, striking at 162.26. He will bat alongside Farhan with Sydney Sixers' teammate, Josh Phillipe, slated at number 3 after 65 runs in 3 innings at 158.53, including a 55-run knock earlier in the season.

Middle Order and All-rounders: Shan Masood, Ashton Turner (c), Arafat Minhas, Mohammad Nawaz

In a new role, batting at 4 this season, Shan Masood has scored quick-fire 70 runs in three innings at a strike rate of 197.50, followed by Ashton Turner's swashbuckling finishing. The BBL winning captain has been their second-highest scorer, with 99 runs in 3 innings at 180, also scoring 48* (28) against Islamabad United and 52* (22) against the Lahore Qalandars.

The 21-year-old Arafat Minhas and Mohammad Nawaz will be the two left-handed all-rounders in the Multan Sultans' top-7. Both can finish the innings strongly and bowl left-arm orthodox in the middle overs.

Minhas has been impressive with his three cameos, accumulating 76 runs in just 33 balls, with 9 fours and four sixes and has chipped in with a wicket as well. Nawaz has picked 2 wickets, conceding at a concerning rate of 12.16; however, he will be backed after a decent start to the tournament for the team.

Bowlers: Peter Siddle, Mohammad Wasim, Momin Qamar, Shehzad Gul

At 41, Peter Siddle is still going strong in T20 cricket after being Multan Sultans' most economical bowler, picking 3 wickets at 8.54 runs per over. He will lead the bowling attack alongside Mohammad Wasim, who is their leading wicket-taker with 4 scalps in 3 games, including the best figures of 2/37.

The 19-year-old Momin Qamar has picked up 3 wickets in 6 overs across two matches so far. His left-arm wrist spin has conceded 10.50 runs per over as he will operate in the middle overs.

The final frontline pacer has been an area of concern for the Multan Sultans after Muhammad Ismail's economy rate of 15.66 in the only match played. Similarly, Shehzad Gul has gone for plenty in the two matches, conceding 78 in his 7 overs without a wicket. As things stand, Gul holds an edge after being backed for two matches so far in PSL 2026.
