The 25th fixture of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2021 sees Multan Sultans take on Quetta Gladiators at Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi on June 16 (Wednesday). The match is scheduled to begin at 9:30pm IST.

Teams Status

Quetta Gladiators

After two straight defeats, Quetta Gladiators finally opened their account in their last game, defeating tournament favourites Lahore Qalandars by 18 runs and showing some signs of life.

It was their bowling that won them the game, successfully defending 158 and bowling out Lahore for 140. It was a balanced effort, too, as Usman Shinwari and Khurram Shahzad got three wickets each while Mohammad Hasnain and Mohammad Nawaz settle for two apiece.

The victory means that the Gladiators now have four points but they still need multiple miracles to have any chance of making it to the playoffs.

Multan Sultans

Multan Sultans have a hundred percent winning record during the Abu Dhabi leg so far, having defeated Karachi Kings first and their most recent win being over Peshawar Zalmi, whom they thrashed by eight wickets.

The good thing about the Sultans is that they are getting contributions from everywhere. In batting, they have seen all four of Rilee Rossouw, Mohammad Rizwan, Khushdil Shah and Sohaib Maqsood find runs. With the ball, too, it has been a balanced effort instead of one man shows.

Despite the twin wins, Multan still are just fourth on the table, thanks to their poor form before the league went on hiatus in March. They can, however, create space between themselves and the teams below – Karachi and Quetta – with a win tonight.

The match will also be watched intently by Karachi fans, who would want to see a Quetta win, thank to the state of the points table and the race to playoffs.

What do the Sportsbook Say

Brand	Multan Sultans	Quetta Gladiators
	1.61	2.30
	1.61	2.33
	1.66	2.10

Multan Sultans are the clear favourites here. 22Bet and Bet365 both have Multan priced at 1.61, whereas Betway has them at 1.66. Meanwhile, Quetta are available for 2.33 on 22Bet, 2.30 on Bet365 and 2.10 on Betway.

Tipster’s Angle

Tip: Multan Sultans to win @ 1.605

Multan just has too many options working for them while Quetta has only a few. The Sarfaraz Ahmed-led side did win the last game but it was more down to Lahore’s failure than anything else. Pound for pound, Multan are the stronger unit and so backing them makes sense in this matchup, even if the odds are a bit short.

Tip: Total runs Over 317.5 @ 1.832

We’re deep into the tournament now and by this time the batsmen are well warmed up and generally find it easier to score runs. Quetta’s batting problems are no stranger to anyone but together with Multan they should be able to clear the spread.

Conclusion

Quetta have won three and lost just once in their last five meetings with Multan, with one match ending in no result. However, the Quetta of today is nowhere near the Quetta of this sample size so expect a bit of course correction tonight.
