The Multan Sultans will lock horns against the Karachi Kings in Match 23 of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2022 on Wednesday, February 16. Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore will host this encounter.

The Sultans are the current table toppers. They have played seven games so far and won six of them, collecting 12 points. The Mohammad Rizwan-led side won their first six games before being defeated by the Lahore Qalandars in their last fixture.

Bowling first, the Sultans’ bowlers struggled a bit as they only managed to pick up four wickets as the Qalandars posted on the board. The Sultans failed to adapt to the conditions as they were knocked over on 130 and lost the game by 52 runs. They will hope to get back to winning ways in this fixture.

The Kings, on the other hand, have had a contrasting journey so far. They have played seven games and lost all of them. They are the only side in the competition yet to win a game. They came very close to winning their first game but lost against Islamabad United in their previous fixture.

After electing to bowl first, the Kings picked up seven wickets but allowed United to score 191 runs. The batters then stepped up and a solid partnership between Imad Wasim and Qasim Akram helped them get close to the target.

However, they failed to hold their nerves in the end as they lost the game by one run. They will still be searching for their first win of the competition against the Sultans.
