Pitch and Weather Conditions

Tonight, Islamabad United (ISL) will face Multan Sultans (MUL) in a thrilling seventh group-stage match of the PSL 2025 season, set to take place at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. Islamabad United, led by Shadab Khan, comes into this match with a solid form after securing two consecutive wins, while Multan Sultans look to bounce back from a tough opening defeat against Karachi Kings, where they fell short despite a strong performance from James Vince.

However, the weather in Rawalpindi has taken a turn, raising concerns about potential disruptions to the match. The skies are overcast with dark clouds, and heavy rain is expected, which could delay the start of the game. According to the latest forecasts, there is a 42% chance of precipitation, with possible showers in the area. While the rain has already begun in Islamabad, the weather could improve as the evening progresses, with only a 1% chance of rain later. However, given the lack of proper covers and Rawalpindi's poor drainage system, officials may need to inspect the outfield multiple times before deciding if the match can go ahead as planned.

Islamabad United vs Multan Sultans Previews

Islamabad United:

The reigning champions kicked off their title defence with two consecutive victories over Lahore Qalandars and Peshawar Zalmi. The firepower possessed by Islamabad should see the heavy boundary hitting continue, and it could be another long evening for the Sultans, regardless of whether they are setting or chasing a target. In their previous encounter against Zalmi, Islamabad secured a massive victory of 102 runs after posting a towering total of 243 for five, courtesy of Sahibzada Farhan’s fiery 52-ball 106.

Multan Sultans:

The Multan Sultans began their campaign on a disappointing note, suffering a narrow four-wicket defeat against the Karachi Kings. The high-scoring thriller at Karachi’s National Stadium saw Multan post an imposing 234-3 after being asked to bat first. Despite their strong total, Karachi comfortably chased down the target in just 19.2 overs, taking full advantage of the batting-friendly pitch. Captain Mohammad Rizwan stood out with a brilliant unbeaten 105 off 63 deliveries, while Michael Bracewell provided a fiery finish with a quickfire 44* off just 17 balls. However, their efforts weren’t enough to secure a victory as Karachi’s batters dominated the chase. Bowling is an area of concern, as we saw how the Sultans failed to defend a total of 234. They will need to step it up when they lock horns against the defending champions next.
