Multan Sultans face Rawalpindi Pindiz in the 14th match of PSL 2026 at Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore on April 6, 2026. This is the first-ever meeting between these two sides in any T20 competition, so the head-to-head stands at 0-0.

These two teams are on completely opposite trajectories. Multan Sultans sit at the top of the PSL 2026 standings and have been the tournament’s most dominant side so far. Meanwhile, Rawalpindi Pindiz have lost all three of their matches and are rooted to the bottom of the table. Captain Mohammad Rizwan now has 13 PSL losses in 14 matches as captain.

With Steve Smith and Mohammad Nawaz firing for the Sultans and Rizwan desperately seeking a turnaround with Daryl Mitchell alongside him, this Monday night clash could define Pindiz’s entire debut season.

Pitch Report for Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore

DetailsInformation
VenueGaddafi Stadium, Lahore, Pakistan
Pitch TypeFlat batting surface; true bounce and carry throughout
Average 1st Innings Score177 in PSL 2026 matches at this venue so far
Pace vs SpinPacers get swing early; spinners grip in middle overs as surface slows
Toss FactorHeavy dew at night; team batting second holds an advantage
Boundary SizeShort square boundaries; ideal for aggressive stroke-play

The Gaddafi Stadium continues to produce entertaining cricket in PSL 2026. The pitch is a batting-friendly surface where pacers get early movement with the new ball, but once the ball softens, batters take charge. Mohammad Nawaz and Tabraiz Shamsi can exploit the middle-overs grip, while Mohammad Amir’s swing early on is a genuine threat to any batting order.

Injury Updates for MUL vs RAP, PSL 2026

Multan Sultans: No injury concerns for the table-toppers. All key players including Steve Smith, Josh Philippe, Ashton Turner, Mohammad Nawaz, and Momin Qamar are fit. Smith and Nawaz were in outstanding form in the most recent match against Quetta Gladiators.

Rawalpindi Pindiz: Jake Fraser-McGurk pulled out of PSL 2026 before the tournament due to personal reasons. No other injury concerns. Mohammad Rizwan, Daryl Mitchell, Sam Billings, Naseem Shah, and Mohammad Amir are all fit and available. However, the team desperately needs a change in strategy after losing all three matches so far, including a 7-wicket thrashing by Islamabad United where they managed only 156/7.

MUL vs RAP Head-to-Head Record

Since Rawalpindi Pindiz are a brand-new franchise making their PSL debut in 2026, there is no head-to-head history between these two teams. This match will be their very first encounter in any T20 competition.

The form guide tells a ruthlessly one-sided story. Multan Sultans are the best team in PSL 2026 so far, sitting at the top of the points table. They beat Islamabad United by five wickets (Philippe 55, Turner 43*), thrashed Hyderabad Kingsmen by six wickets, and Steve Smith and Mohammad Nawaz starred in their latest win against Quetta Gladiators by six wickets.

In contrast, Rawalpindi Pindiz have had a nightmare start to their debut season. They have lost all three of their matches: falling to Peshawar Zalmi (despite chasing 214 dramatically, that was actually a win), losing to Karachi Kings (Azam Khan’s 74 off 34 balls destroyed them), and getting thrashed by Islamabad United by 7 wickets where Sameer Minhas and Shadab Khan put on an unbeaten 128 off 68 balls.
