Multan Sultans vs Islamabad United match prediction [Source: PSL]

The Multan Sultans are all set to face Islamabad United in their inaugural clash of PSL 2026. The Multan vs Islamabad match is set to take place at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on Saturday, March 28, and will go live for fans from 7:30 PM IST. 

Multan Sultans, led by Ashton Turner, is set to feature firepower like Sahibzada Farhan, Steve Smith, Shan Masood, among others, while Muhammad Waseem Jr, Peter Siddle, and Tabraiz Shamsi strengthen the bowling attack. With a dismal PSL 2025 form, Multan Sultans will definitely look to make a comeback against Islamabad United.

Islamabad, meanwhile, is led by Shadab Khan, where Imad Wasim, Haider Ali, and Salman Mirza, like Pakistan veterans, dazzle the team's core strength alongside all-rounder Faheem Ashraf. 

With the team likely to go with core domestic firepower with both bat and ball, overseas stars like Chris Green, Devon Conway, and Mark Chapman are also likely to add to the team's firepower.

Multan Sultans vs Islamabad United Player Battles

Faheem Ashraf vs Sahibzada Farhan

This battle pits Faheem Ashraf’s all-round pace variations against Sahibzada Farhan’s aggressive top-order intent. Faheem’s ability to swing the ball early and mix slower deliveries makes him a tricky customer, especially in the powerplay, while Farhan thrives on attacking anything loose and building momentum quickly. 

Faheem Ashraf vs Sahibzada Farhan in T20s: 77 runs; 46 balls; 0 dismissals

Shan Masood vs Salman Mirza

Shan Masood’s composed and technically sound batting will be tested against Salman Mirza’s disciplined bowling. Masood prefers anchoring the innings and rotating strike efficiently, whereas Mirza relies on consistency and tight lines to build pressure. This contest could hinge on patience, with Masood looking to wear the bowler down.

Shan Masood vs Salman Mirza in T20s: 1 run; 3 balls; 0 dismissals

Steve Smith vs Imad Wasim

A fascinating clash between Steve Smith’s unorthodox yet highly effective batting and Imad Wasim’s crafty left-arm spin. Smith’s strong game against spin and ability to manipulate the field makes him a tough opponent, but Imad’s control, variations, and experience can create pressure.

Multan Sultans vs Islamabad United toss prediction

The Gaddafi Stadium pitch report for the MS vs ISU match in PSL 2026 will see a batting-dominated contest. The average score in T20s at Gaddafi ranges from 150-155, and given the opening clash results, the team to dominate with the bat will win.

Spinners might get help in the second half, and with teams batting first have a slight advantage here, following the pitch tradition, the captain winning the toss would opt to bat first.
