PSL 2024: Match 3, MUL vs KAR Match Prediction – Who will win today’s match?

Preview

Multan Sultans qualified for the finals of the Pakistan Super League in 2022 and 2023 but couldn't get the job done in the summit clash. In 2024, the Mohammad Rizwan-led side will be determined to once again challenge for the title and would hope to get the job done. In their first match of the season, the Sultans will challenge Karachi Kings, (KAR) who failed to qualify for the playoffs in the last two years.

With the hope of changing that, the Shan Masood-led side have bolstered their middle order by signing the likes of Kieron Pollard and Daniel Sams. They also have Leus de Plooy in the squad, who is in terrific form at the moment. However, with multiple franchise leagues going on around the world, both teams are expected to suffer in terms of player availability but nevertheless, a close contest is expected.
