Karachi Kings win toss and put Multan Sultans into bat

Karachi Kings have won the toss and elected to field first against home side Multan Sultans in the 11th match of the ongoing Pakistan Super League (PSL) season eight on Wednesday at Multan Cricket Stadium.

Multan Sultans are in top form as they have won three matches so far and are table leaders whereas Karachi Kings have won only one match and lost three.

Kings will be without the services of pacer Muhammad Amir who is out due to injury.

Sultans dominance in this season could be gauged by the fact that top three wicket takers in the event and two top run getters belonge to the.

Multan’s Ihsanullah is leading the bowling charts with 12 wickets followed by Abbas Afridi and Usma Mir who both took eight wickets so far. Their captain Muhammad Rizwan is leading the runs chart as he has scored 219 runs so far and is followed by his teammate Riley Rossouw who has scored 189 runs.

The Sultans, if they win today, can open up a four-point lead at the top of the table. Interestingly, a win for the Kings could take them up to second on the table and just two points off the perch, albeit having played five matches.

Squads:

Karachi Kings XI: Matthew Wade (wk), James Vince, Haider Ali, Shoaib Malik, Irfan Khan, Imad Wasim (c), Ben Cutting, Aamer Yamin, Mohammad Umar, Imran Tahir, Akif Javed
