MUL vs ISL Dream11 Team Prediction, Preview: PSL | Alex Hales joins PSL

MUL vs ISL Dream11 Team Prediction and Preview: PSL

Welcome to our Preview for MUL vs ISL T20 match, 25th in the PSL 2018. The match will be played at the Sharjah Cricket Association Stadium, Sharjah and this is our Dream11 prediction and probable playing XI for Multan Sultans versus Islamabad United.

Multan Sultan after having a brilliant start to the PSL campaign has lost their way out in the dark. They have lost their three consecutive matches and are drowning in the points table. In their last match, they lost to Karachi Kings by a huge margin of 63 runs. No bowlers supported Sohail Tanvir and Mohammad Irfan. Their batting was terrible with Tanvir emerging as the highest scorer.

Islamabad, on the other hand, dominated the Peshawar Zalmi team. Duminy led with his innings of 73 runs off 54 balls, later ably supported by Asif Ali who smacked 45 off 24 balls. Islamabad Spinners – Samit Patel-Shadab Khan-Zafar Gohar picked 8/80 in their 12 overs and Peshawar Zalmi fell short by 26 runs.

Team News:

Multan Sultans:
Changes are imminent for Multan as they have lost three matches on the trot. Hardus Viljoen may again be replaced by Ross Whiteley but that will weaken their bowling. Chances of local Pakistani players being rotated are higher.

“I had hurt my knee while fielding agaisnt the Quetta team in my 1st match but i bowled with my full runup today and feel good to play ahead Inn Shaa Allah” Said -Umar Gul on Twitter.

N Pooran Can play this match. Shan Masood can also play this match if he play then likely to replace A Shahzad/S Maqsood.

Islamabad United:
Big boost for ISL comes in form of Alex Hales and Sam Billings. Most probably they will include Alex Hales in place of Steven Finn.

Dream11 Team prediction:

Suggestions:

• This Team For Grand League.
• Now PSL Moves to Sarjah Ground from Dubai so here Bowlers are good pick then Batsmens for Dream Team.
• In WK, probably the first time there is a better option than Sangakkara. Ronchi has been on fire this PSL.
• Duminy, Maqsood and Shahzad are the obvious options to choose Batsmen from. Alex Hales will be a good GL choice.
• All Rounder section is very thin with Malik, Pollard and Samit Patel obvious choices. Hussain Talat is also good choice.
• Bowlers have taken a back seat in the PSL now with batsmen again piling 180 runs consistently. Best choices are Tanvir, Ashraf, Shadab, Tahir, Irfan, Sami, Zafar Gohar and Junaid. Any can be picked, choose with instincts.

Key Players:

Multan Sultans:
K Sangakkara
Ahmed Shahzad
Shoaib Malik
Sohail Tanvir
Mohammad Irfan
Imran Tahir

Islamabad United:
