MUL vs ISL Match Preview
MUL vs ISL On Saturday, Islamabad United will face the Multan Sultans at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2021 match 30.
Islamabad United is already in the PSL playoffs and will want to keep their momentum going heading into the elimination round. Despite the absence of Shadab Khan and Faheem Ashraf, Islamabad were able to overcome Peshawar Zalmi by scoring the greatest total in PSL history. Islamabad are the overwhelming favourites coming into this game, with Usman Khawaja in fine form at the top of the order.
At the time of writing, their opponents, the Multan Sultans, had not to confirm a spot in the top four. Multan have a difficult challenge in defeating Islamabad on Saturday, despite being unblemished in the UAE leg thus far. Despite the fact that they will start as underdogs, their inventive bowling attack will be crucial to their chances of finishing in the top four in the PSL 2021 final league game.

Pitch Report
With this being the second PSL game of the day, the pitch could be on the slower side, with variations being key. Although both the pacers and spinners should get the ball to talk, the batsmen should be able to play their shots freely. Dew could play a factor, with both teams likely to prefer chasing upon winning the toss. Although 170-180 should be a good total at the venue, both teams are capable of breaching the par score with ease.
