Multan Sultans vs Quetta Gladiators Match Prediction, PSL 2020
First plays last as in-form Multan Sultans take on struggling defending champions Quetta Gladiators in the Pakistan Super League. The match takes place on March 11 at the Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore, and the live action gets underway at 19:00 local time.
The Sultans are top of the top of the league and have won their last four completed matches, whereas the Gladiators’ run of four straight defeats has sent them tumbling to the bottom of the pile. It was a 30-run defeat to the Sultans, after Rilee Rossouw’s unbeaten century, that sparked the Gladiators’ collapse.
Most recently, James Vince batted the Sultans to victory in a rain-reduced slog against Islamabad United, whereas Quetta were restricted to 98/9 in an eight-wicket defeat to Lahore – who have since climbed above them in the table.

Multan Sultans Team News & Playing 11
MS Team News
Junaid Khan’s two wickets last time out could make him difficult to drop, and he could continue in Mohammad Irfan’s place. Given their good form, the Sultans are unlikely to be making wholesale changes.
MS Key Players
Imran Tahir: A tidy 2-13 from his two overs last time out took him to ten wickets as his excellent form in T20 cricket continued.
Rilee Rossouw: Led the way with his stunning unbeaten century when these teams last met as he closes in on 5,000 T20 runs.
Sohail Tanvir: Tidy with the ball, even if he was wicketless, last time out. He has 348 wickets in T20 cricket and his left-arm pace continues to cause problems.
MS Team Form
Multan Sultans have now won their last four completed matches, with only their no result against Karachi Kings – just as Shahid Afridi had started to motor – spoiling their recent record. Most recently, Imran Tahir’s 2-13 restricted Islamabad United to 91/7 in a reduced nine-over game, before James Vince went ballistic – the Englishman’s 24-ball 61* ensuring the Sultans wrapped up a nine wicket win in just 40 balls.

Quetta Gladiators Team News & Playing 11
QTG Team News
Tymal Mills and Naseem Shah both missed the defeat to Lahore Qalandars last time out, and both could return to bolster the bowling attack this time. Fawad Ahmed was tidy with the ball, but he went wicketless.
QTG Key Players
Jason Roy: Two half-centuries and a 45 have showed the best of the Englishman with the bat, and he will be keen for more consistency at the top of the order.
Mohammad Hasnain: Expensive last time out, having been in excellent bowling form previously – the teenager leads the wicket-taking charts with 14 from eight matches.
Ben Cutting: The Australian all-rounder has taken eight wickets and scored 146 runs in five innings to prove his all-round worth so far.
QTG Team Form
Quetta have lost four matches in a row, with the most recent – their second defeat in that streak to Lahore Qalandars – the most dismal of the lot. They finished the power play on 21/6 and eventually posted just 98/9 from their 20 overs. In reply, the Qalandars needed less than 12 overs to wrap up an eight-wicket win.
