Lahore Qalandars vs Multan Sultans

Lahore Qalandars face Multan Sultans in Match 11 of PSL 2026 at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on Friday, April 3, 2026, starting at 8:00 PM PKT (UTC+5). Gaddafi Stadium holds 34,000 fans, and this is PSL’s defining rivalry of recent seasons: between them these two franchises have won five of the last seven PSL championships.

Lahore Qalandars won in 2022, 2023 and 2025; Multan Sultans won in 2021. No fixture in PSL cricket generates higher anticipation or more consistently delivers quality.

Lahore Qalandars transformed from perennial underperformers to three-time PSL champions, winning in 2022, 2023 and 2025. Shaheen Shah Afridi’s swing bowling is among cricket’s most dangerous new-ball attacks; Fakhar Zaman’s powerplay batting and Rashid Khan’s leg-spin give Lahore a match-winner in every phase of the game.

Multan Sultans rebuilt under Mohammad Rizwan’s leadership into PSL’s most consistently dominant outfit. Rizwan’s wicketkeeper-batsman role provides captaincy, runs, and dismissals simultaneously. Rilee Rossouw’s aggressive hitting and Ihsanullah’s pace bowling give Multan the attacking options to win from any position.

When these two franchises meet at full strength, PSL cricket reaches the quality level that international cricket followers respect. This is the fixture that defines the competition’s standard.
