KAR vs MUL Dream11 Prediction: Welcome to the opening match of the Pakistan Super League 2022 where Karachi Kings take on defending champions Multan Sultans at the National Stadium in Karachi. Let us look at how the teams shape up ahead of this season.
Karachi Kings
Captain: Babar Azam
Previous standing – Fourth
Karachi Kings won three out of their first five games, but stumbled midway, losing three successive games but they snuck into the playoffs on net run-rate courtesy of victories in their last two group games – the key success coming against Lahore Qalandars by seven runs. Despite having the tournament’s leading run-scorer in toe their progress was halted by Peshawar Zalmi in Eliminator.
Multan Sultans
Captain: Mohammad Rizwan
Previous standing- Champions
Title winners for the first time in their history. They struggled in the Karachi leg of the tournament – they won just one of five games and were the only side to lose a match while chasing – but the Covid-induced break worked wonders for them. Once the teams reconvened in Abu Dhabi, there was no stopping Rizwan’s side, which went on a tear, winning seven of their final eight games to romp to the title.

The track is expected to be good for batting and plenty of runs are on offer. The boundaries are short and the par score is 180. The pacers have to be clever with their variations while spinners are likely to get some purchase. Both teams might prefer chasing.
