The Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2025 continues with its 12th match featuring Multan Sultans and Lahore Qalandars at the Multan Cricket Stadium on Tuesday, April 22. The Sultans, despite their consistent performances in recent seasons, have struggled this year, primarily due to their bowling unit conceding over 200 runs in each of their first three matches. Their batting lineup has shown promise, but the inability to defend totals has been a significant concern.?

In contrast, Lahore Qalandars have gained momentum after an initial loss, thanks to strategic additions like Rishad Hossain and consistent performances from key players such as Fakhar Zaman, Sam Billings, and Abdullah Shafique. Their bowling attack, led by captain Shaheen Afridi, has been effective in both powerplay and death overs.?
