Multan Sultans opt to bowl first after winning toss in Lahore

LAHORE: Multan Sultans won the toss and elected to field first against Rawalpindiz in the 14th match of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 11 at the Gaddafi Stadium on Monday.

Multan captain Ashton Turner called correctly at the toss and chose to put Rawalpindiz into bat, banking on chasing under the lights in Lahore conditions that often favour teams batting second.

The decision reflects a familiar approach in the PSL, where captains frequently prefer to chase due to dew and better batting conditions in the latter stages of the match. Multan will look to exploit any early movement with the ball and restrict the opposition to a manageable total.

Rawalpindiz, meanwhile, will aim to make full use of their batting line-up to post a competitive score and apply pressure on Multan’s chase.

The match at the Gaddafi Stadium marks another important fixture in the league phase, with both sides looking to build momentum as the tournament progresses.

Multan Sultans, one of the more consistent sides in recent PSL seasons, will be aiming to continue their strong form, while Rawalpindiz will be hoping to deliver a solid all-round performance to strengthen their position in the standings.
