QTG vs MS: Match Overview

Quetta Gladiators

After losing to Multan Sultans to begin the season, Quetta Gladiators overcame Karachi Kings by a margin of six runs. However, that triumph was immediately followed by a terrible streak in which Sarfaraz Ahmed’s club dropped five straight games.

The Gladiators lost three times against Lahore Qalandars, Islamabad United, and Peshawar Zalmi during this run. The 2019 champions appeared to be out of the competition, but with back-to-back victories over Peshawar Zalmi and Karachi Kings, they gave themselves a little opportunity.

Multan Sultan

Multan Sultans’ season began with a painful loss to Lahore Qalandars, but they then went on an incredible run in which they defeated Quetta Gladiators, Peshawar Zalmi, Islamabad United, and Karachi Kings four times in a row. With three straight losses to the Karachi Kings, Lahore Qalandars, and Islamabad United, Mohammad Rizwan’s squad faced numerous obstacles just as they were beginning to look increasingly likely to easily advance to the next round.

QTG vs MS: Head-to-head record

The Sultans are more likely to win head-to-head matches. They have defeated the Quetta Gladiators four times, compared to just four victories for Rizwan’s team under Ahmed.

Multan Sultans won the most recent meeting by a margin of nine wickets, which occurred back in February. They bowled Quetta out for only 110 runs because of Ihsanullah’s five-wicket haul, and they chased down the score in just 13.3 overs with Rilee Rossouw’s superb 78-run innings.

QTG vs MS: Key players

Martin Guptill (Quetta Gladiators)

Martin Guptill has been a dependable performer for the 2019 champions, despite the fact that a few Pakistani batsmen for the Quetta Gladiators have fallen short of expectations. He now holds the top spot on his team’s run-scoring list with 273 runs at an average of 39.

The opening batter from New Zealand had his greatest performance against Karachi Kings in the team’s second game, scoring 117 runs. Also, in the second-to-last game, which was also against Karachi Kings, he scored a magnificent unbeaten 86.

Mohammad Rizwan (Multan Sultans)

Unlike the Gladiators, Multan Sultans have relied primarily on their captain Rizwan to score runs. The wicketkeeper-batsman leads his side in runs scored with 421 runs at an average of 70.16.

In the game against the Karachi Kings, Rizwan scored an unbroken 110, which was his greatest performance. Also, he has three half-centuries to his credit, coming against Lahore Qalandars, Peshawar Zalmi, and Islamabad United.

QTG vs MS: Match Prediction

The Multan Sultans have a balanced mix of anchors and power hitters since this wicket will guarantee that the victorious team will need to be guided to the finish line by the batting lineup and spin bowling attack. Usama Mir, for example, has performed on this track before and will be familiar with how to make the most of the playing surface. Only for this reason, we think Sultan will defeat Quetta Gladiators for the fourth time in a row. Having said that, the Gladiators do have the resources at their disposal to pull a surprise early.
