Lahore Qalandars vs Multan Sultans PSL 29th Match Prediction and Betting Tips

Lahore’s dream run was brought down to a realistic halt by a rock-solid Karachi. Since that defeat, their entry into the now-knockout stages has been in doubt, and given the state of the table, Lahore either MUST win their match against Multan, or surrender their fate on Karachi defeating both Quetta and Islamabad for them to go through. Given that Multan are already comfortably through, one might expect them to slow down, but if last night’s match against Peshawar is any proof, they have no intention of doing so. Before we head to a possibly empty Gaddafi Stadium (due to Corona fears), let’s take a look at how the teams stand.

Lahore Qalandars Team News & Form

The only PSL team not to have lost any players to the Corona exodus yet, Lahore suddenly finds themselves in an advantageous position. Their dream run may have come to an end, but if the situation doesn’t exacerbate to include their own players, they might have an unfair advantage over every other team that ultimately is nobody’s fault. Slipping down to fourth from third after their first defeat since 5th March, they are now poised over the precipice of elimination, with their match against Multan essentially being a do-or-in-all-probability-die knockout. All eyes will be on Aussie hitman Ben Dunk and Pakistani Sohail Akhtar.

Multan Sultans Preview & Form

Having beaten Lahore in 3 of their last 5 encounters, and given their form in the ongoing season, Multan Sultans will be fancying their chances of defusing Lahore’s hope. However, with the indispensable Rilee Rossouw and James Vince heading back home, this year’s surprise powerhouse might not be able to pull off what they were looking to be strong contenders to do - play their first PSL final. Given the situation, Multan’s fate will hinge on local talent and a few remaining foreigners, such as Shan Masood, Shahid Afridi, and Moeen Ali.

Lahore Qalandars vs Multan Sultans Prediction and Betting Tips

WIth nothing to lose and their most palpable chance at qualification to the second round of PSL at hand, Lahore Qalandars will no doubt give it their all. Expect Dunk and Sohail Akhtar to show some brilliance with the bat, while Shaheen Afridi and Samit Patel - if the latter remains - do some damage with the ball.

With no Hales and no Rossouw, the onus of carrying the inning now falls upon the somewhat-capable shoulders of Shan Masood and Zeeshan Ashraf, and they can be expected to carry it out to the best of their abilities. In the bowling department, Imran Tahir and Sohail Tanvir will have to do their trick as usual.
