KAR vs MUL Match Preview:
This weekend, Karachi Kings will face the Multan Sultans in the ongoing PSL 2026 at the National Stadium, Karachi.
Karachi made a strong start to the tournament, winning three consecutive matches, but three consecutive defeats thereafter completely altered their equation. They have slipped from the top to sixth place in the points table. Now they will be aiming to regain their winning momentum.
On the other hand, the Multan Sultans have secured third place on the points table with 8 points, having won four matches. In their previous match against Peshawar Zalmi, they suffered a 24-run defeat. While chasing Peshawar's massive target of 196 runs, Multan could only manage 172 runs. In this PSL format, both teams are strong, so a good contest is expected.
