As the Pakistan Super League 2023 enters its third week, all teams will face off against one another for the second time this season. In the first game of a doubleheader, Karachi Kings will face the tournament’s best lineup, Multan Sultans, in Match 14 at the National Stadium of Karachi.
Karachi Kings had the lowest win percentage in the 2023 edition. Despite being fifth in the standings, they have only won one of their five games thus far. In Match 11, they were defeated by the same opponents, the Multan Sultans.
Multan Sultans have clearly been the finest team and the favourites to win the trophy in 2023. Seeking vengeance for losing in the championships last season, the Sultans have won four consecutive games since their first setback to reach Match 14.
Karachi Kings vs Multan Sultans Weather Report, Toss Prediction, and Pitch Report
It will be a pleasant evening to round off a day of cricket. The temperature is forecast to range between 30 and 19 degrees, with humidity peaking at roughly 52% during the match hours.
The winning captain is most likely to bat first and make full use of the flat surface. Knowing that making strokes will be easy, each team would like to set a lofty goal.
Because of the flat surface, this venue is dreaded by quick bowlers, but spinners may receive an unexpected turn in the middle overs. On the other hand, batsmen will be eager to attack from the start, as dew should not be a factor that affects their stroke-making.

Multan Sultans is the favourite to win this match.
Despite the fact that Karachi Kings have won 5 games (in total) against the Sultans in the past, there is no disputing that the latter team is the favorite to win the PSL this year. While Rizwan has led from the start, Ihsanullah and Rossouw have been instrumental in maintaining the Sultans’ advantage throughout the game. This is why we believe the Multan Sultans will defeat the Karachi Kings in this season’s PSL.
