Preview by Mohammad Anab
The action in Pakistan's National T20 Cup 2025-26 continues on Sunday with an intriguing clash as Group B sides Abbottabad Region and Multan Region face off in Peshawar, promising a competitive encounter.
Abbottabad Region will head into the contest aiming to make a strong statement with a squad that blends promising young players and experienced domestic campaigners. Traditionally known for producing disciplined bowlers and hardworking all-rounders, Abbottabad will likely focus on maintaining tight lines with the ball while building steady partnerships with the bat. Their ability to control the middle overs could prove crucial in determining the outcome of the match.
Last season, Abbottabad finished second in the Group C points table. They then defeated Lahore Region Whites in the quarter-final before being defeated by Peshawar in the semi-final.
Seamer Shahab Khan was the side's leading wicket-taker with six scalps. Kamran Ghulam was the team's leading run-getter with 165 runs from five innings.
The Khalid Usman-led side has some strong players in the form of all-rounders Shadab Khan and Khushdil Shah.
Multan Region, meanwhile, will look to rely on their attacking batting approach and the depth in their lineup. Teams from the region have often shown the ability to post or chase big totals in the shortest format, and their batters will be keen to take advantage of the powerplay overs. If their top order manages to provide a quick start, Multan could put early pressure on the Abbottabad bowling attack.
Multan finished second in the Group D points table last season. They then defeated Karachi Whites in the QF but lost to Lahore Blues in the semis.
Muhammad Shahzad was the side's leading run-getter with 157 runs from five innings. Meanwhile, seamer Muhammad Ismail was the tournament's second-highest wicket-taker with 11 scalps.
This year, the Imam-ul-Haq-led side comprises some promising players like top-order batter Sameer Minhas and pacer Waseem Akram Jnr.
In a tournament as competitive as the National T20 Cup, every match carries significant importance, and both teams will be aware that early victories can set the tone for the rest of their campaign. Fielding standards, bowling execution in the death overs, and the ability to handle pressure in key moments are likely to play a decisive role.
