Who Looks Stronger & Win Prediction
Multan Sultans enter this match as favourites, thanks to their unbeaten run and deeper batting lineup. Models and experts also lean toward Multan because they have chased big totals and defended well this season. Lahore’s inconsistency and the absence of Fakhar Zaman further tilt the scales slightly in Multans favor. However, a strong bowling performance from Lahore paired with impactful play from their all‑rounders could still shut out the Sultans momentum.
