PSL 2026: Islamabad United vs Multan Sultans Prediction, Match Preview
The Multan Sultans will face off with the Islamabad United on Saturday in match 40 of the Pakistan Super League at the National Stadium in Karachi on Sunday, April 26
Islamabad United Preview
Islamabad United have already booked their place in the next stage of the Pakistan Super League and now turn their focus to finishing as high as possible on the table. They secured five wins from their opening nine games; as a result, Islamabad currently sit third with 11 points and an impressive net run rate of 1.766. A victory in their upcoming fixture could see them climb to second place, securing a valuable spot in Qualifier 1. They arrive in this game full of confidence after bouncing back strongly from a recent defeat to Rawalpindi Pindiz. In their last outing, Islamabad delivered a commanding performance against Hyderabad Kingsmen, bowling them out for just 80 before cruising to an emphatic eight-wicket win.

Multan Sultans Preview
Multan Sultans have already secured their place in the next phase of the Pakistan Super League and remain firmly in contention near the top of the standings. The Sultans currently sit second on the table, having won six of their nine matches so far. Their consistent performances throughout the campaign have kept them among the leading sides heading into the business end of the tournament. However, they enter this fixture looking to respond after a recent slip-up against Hyderabad Kingsmen, where they suffered a four-wicket defeat. That result brought an end to their solid two-match winning run.

Sahibzada Farhan, Steven Smith, Ashton Turner (c), Josh Philippe (wk), Shan Masood, Mohammad Nawaz, Arafat Minhas, Mohammad Imran Randhawa, Peter Siddle, Mohammad Wasim Jr, Muhammad Ismail
Islamabad United vs Multan Sultans Prediction
Multan Sultans will take confidence from their earlier meeting this season, where they defeated Islamabad United by five wickets. Despite their recent setback, Multan’s overall form has been strong, and they will be eager to respond with a convincing performance in this clash. My prediction is Multan Sultans to win, with 1xBet offering odds of 1.84.
