Quetta Gladiators vs Multan Sultans

Quetta Gladiators face Multan Sultans in Match 13 of PSL 2026 at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on Sunday, April 5, 2026, starting at 8:00 PM PKT (UTC+5). Gaddafi Stadium holds 34,000 fans, and this is a meeting of PSL’s two most title-rich franchises outside of Islamabad United: Quetta won in 2019, Multan won in 2021 and 2023.

Three PSL titles between these two franchises. Both know how to win in Pakistani franchise cricket. This is a clash of legitimate champions with contrasting recent trajectories.

Quetta Gladiators are one of PSL’s most consistent performers, making the playoffs in nearly every season. Sarfaraz Ahmed’s captaincy blends Balochistan’s proud cricket tradition with tactical intelligence accumulated across a long international career. Jason Roy’s explosive opening batting and Naseem Shah’s express pace give Quetta match-winning options across both innings.

Multan Sultans have been PSL’s benchmark side since 2021. Mohammad Rizwan’s presence across three roles; captain, wicketkeeper, and run-scorer, gives Multan a structural advantage that no other PSL franchise can replicate. Rilee Rossouw’s hitting rate and Ihsanullah’s pace form the offensive pillars of a dominant team.

Sarfaraz’s experience versus Rizwan’s current form is the captain’s duel within the larger team contest.
