Lahore Qalandars vs Multan Sultans Match Prediction, PSL 2020
Lahore Qalandars and Multan Sultans get their 2020 Pakistan Super League campaigns underway when they meet at the Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore, on February 21. The match is scheduled to get underway at 19:00 local time.
The two teams are looking to improve on missing out on the play-offs last season. They both won just three of their ten matches and finished in fifth and sixth place.
Lahore’s response has been to keep faith with last season’s team, but add a little quality in the form of Chris Lynn. Multan Sultans have torn up their team and started again, however.

Lahore Qalandars Team News & Playing 11
LHQ Team News
Chris Lynn arrives as a platinum pick but Lahore have kept the bulk of last year’s team together. Lendl Simmons has withdrawn due to personal reasons, with Dane Vilas replacing him.
LHQ Key Players
Haris Rauf: One of the surprise stars of the winter, stepping into the Big Bash League as a late replacement and becoming one of Melbourne Star’ key players – earning international recognition on the back of his performances there.
Chris Lynn: The big-hitting opener adds serious quality at the top of the order, as he closes in on 5,000 T20 runs. He has a strike rate of 142.49 in the format.
Shaheen Afridi: Another player likely to be key for Pakistan at the T20 World Cup later this year, the teenager has already made his mark in T20 cricket with 42 wickets in 33 innings.
LHQ Team Form
Defeat to Multan Sultans in their most recent meeting meant Lahore Qalandars finished bottom of the Pakistan Super League table last season. They won just three of their ten matches in total and lost their last four in a row.
Lahore Qalandars Predicted Playing 11
Fakhar Zaman (c), Chris Lynn, Mohammad Hafeez, Sohail Akhtar, Dane Vilas (wk), David Wiese, Samit Patel, Dilbar Hussain, Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf, Usman Shinwari
Multan Sultans Team News & Playing 11
MS Team News
Suggestions Moeen Ali would miss part of the tournament due to England commitments have proved wide of the mark, with the all-rounder continuing his break from test duty. Moeen and Rilee Rossouw were two platinum picks, while Ravi Bopara and Sohail Tanvir also arrived in this year’s draft. Wayne Madsen fills in for Fabian Allen while the Jamaican is on international duty with the West Indies.
MS Key Players
Moeen Ali: His continued test absence for England is a bonus for the Sultans. He proved his T20 form with a key contribution with the bat as England beat South Africa last week.
Sohail Tanvir: The left-arm paceman is a dangerous customer in this format, and his record of 340 T20 wickets in 321 innings proves his value.
Shahid Afridi: The veteran all-rounder has lost some of his aura as he approaches his 40th birthday but his big-hitting batting and canny leg-spin bowling means he remains as popular as ever on the T20 circuit.
MS Team Form
Victory when these teams last met was just Multan Sultans’ third of the tournament but it was enough for them to finish fifth, ahead of the Qalandars, on net run rate. They had lost six of their previous seven matches, however, and missed out on the play-offs by quite some way as a result.
Multan Sultans Predicted Playing 11
James Vince, Moeen Ali, Rilee Rossouw, Shan Masood (c), Khushdil Shah, Shahid Afridi, Rohail Nazir (wk), Sohail Tanvir, Mohammad Irfan, Junaid Khan, Imran Tahir
