Two powerhouse sides are set to clash in the upcoming Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2026 fixture. Multan Sultans, currently holding a top-two spot, will face the reigning champions, Lahore Qalandars. For Shaheen Afridi and his team, this will be their first outing since a turbulent week marked by controversies.
The Qalandars have made headlines for the wrong reasons—ranging from security breaches to ball-tampering allegations. Disciplinary action has followed, including fines and a two-match suspension for Fakhar Zaman, leaving the squad with the challenge of regrouping and restoring focus.
The contest is scheduled for Friday at Gaddafi Stadium. Multan Sultans enter the game with momentum, having won both of their matches so far, including a record chase of 225 runs against Hyderabad Kingsmen. A third consecutive victory would give them a perfect start and a hat trick of wins.
Squads:
Multan Sultans Squad: Sahibzada Farhan, Steven Smith, Josh Philippe(w), Shan Masood, Ashton Turner(c), Arafat Minhas, Mohammad Nawaz, Peter Siddle, Mohammad Wasim Jr, Shehzad Gul, Momin Qamar, Atizaz Habib Khan, Muhammad Ismail, Awais Zafar, Muhammad Shahzad, Lachlan Shaw, Faisal Akram, Delano Potgieter, Mohammad Imran Randhawa, Arshad Iqbal, Tabraiz Shamsi
Lahore Qalandars Squad: Mohammad Naeem, Fakhar Zaman, Abdullah Shafique, Parvez Hossain Emon, Haseebullah Khan(w), Sikandar Raza, Shaheen Afridi(c), Usama Mir, Haris Rauf, Ubaid Shah, Mustafizur Rahman, Daniel Sams, Dunith Wellalage, Rubin Hermann, Maaz Khan, Tayyab Tahir, Mohammad Farooq, Asif Ali
