PSL-9: Final between Islamabad, Multan today

Karachi: The final of the 9th season of Pakistan Super League (PSL) will be played today (Monday) between Multan Sultans and Islamabad United.

The champion of PSL-9 will be decided tonight at the National Bank Stadium in Karachi, with both teams competing for the title. Th ematch will start at 9:00pm.

It is pertinent to note that Islamabad United have won the trophy twice, while Multan Sultans have won the title once.

Multan Sultans reached the final after defeating Peshawar Zalmi in the first qualifier while Islamabad defeated Quetta in Eliminator-I and then managed to get a win over Peshawar in Eliminator-II to reach the final.

Mohammad Rizwan and Shadab Khan, the captains of both the teams that reached the final, took pictures with the trophy in front of the historic building of Karachi Port Trust.

This is the same wicket of Karachi's National Bank Cricket Stadium on which the Eliminator-II match was played between Islamabad United and Peshawar Zalmi.

This wicket provided the batsmen with bouncy and fast delivery which helped them in their strike, hopefully this wicket will be like that today.

While Multan Sultans proved to be the stronger of the two teams in PSL-9, United put in a dominant performance after securing two consecutive knockout victories.
