Quetta Gladiators Vs Multan Sultans, PSL 2026: Get Toss Update, Playing XIs

Quetta Gladiators and Multan Sultans clash at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore in match 13 of the PSL 2026 on April 05, Sunday, with both sides desperate to recover from recent setbacks. Multan Sultans currently occupy the fourth spot in the standings with two wins from three games, though they are coming off a narrow 20-run defeat against Lahore Qalandars in a rain-curtailed match.

Quetta Gladiators, led by Saud Shakeel, find themselves in a more precarious position at sixth place, having managed just one victory in three outings.

Their last appearance was a sobering eight-wicket loss to Islamabad United, despite a valiant 66 from opener Hasan Nawaz, highlighting a bowling attack that has struggled for consistency outside of the ever-reliable Abrar Ahmed.

The match up heavily favors Multan Sultans, who hold a 9-6 head-to-head lead over the Gladiators in 16 total encounters. The Sultans boast an explosive batting lineup featuring Sahibzada Farhan, Steve Smith, and the aggressive Josh Philippe, supported by a balanced bowling core of Peter Siddle and Mohammad Wasim Jr.

Quetta will look toward the experience of Rilee Rossouw and the steady hands of Ben McDermott to post or chase a substantial total. Success for Quetta will likely depend on whether their supporting bowlers can provide Abrar Ahmed enough backup to stifle Multan’s middle-order power hitters.

Conditions at the Gaddafi Stadium are expected to remain excellent for batting, with a flat surface that historically rewards aggressive stroke play and yields scores in the 170-180 range. While the pitch offers some early carry for the quicks, it tends to settle under lights, making the toss a crucial factor.

Captains will also have a close eye on the weather, as light showers have been predicted in Lahore with a 25% chance of precipitation. With the dew factor likely making the ball slippery in the second innings, the team winning the toss will almost certainly look to bowl first to take advantage of the easier chasing conditions.
