MUL vs ISL T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, Final PSL 2024
The 2024 Pakistan Super League began in mid-February with Islamabad United beating Lahore Qalandars by 8 wickets but now comes to a conclusion with Multan Sultans taking on Islamabad United on Monday evening in the final. The Sultans won the Qualifier by 7 wickets with Islamabad winning both Eliminators to reach the final. Read on as we preview this clash. The game begins at 21:00 local time on March 18th at the National Stadium, Karachi.
Multan Sultans have had an excellent 2024 PSL so far and come into this match in strong form but they were beaten in their last head to head with Islamabad United. We expect the Sultans to be super-focused in this final and to emerge with the trophy.
Islamabad United have enjoyed two comfortable wins in the Eliminator fixtures and although this is likely to be the toughest contest of the three games, they will not be short of self-belief. They will need the likes of Martin Guptill and Imad Wasim to play at their best once more to give themselves a real chance.
