This looks like being another close battle in the PSL. Both sides are capable of making runs at the top of the order, so it could come down to which team’s bowling attack handles conditions better.

Here are our top cricket predictions for this clash.

Back Rashid Khan for More Wickets

Afghan spinner Rashid Khan is starting to have more of an impact as this tournament progresses.

He took two wickets in the previous game and the more the pitch deteriorates the more joy he will have.

The pacers are having to work much harder for their wickets now but this is when Rashid can come to the fore for Lahore.

He can be backed at 2.5 with bet365 to be his team’s top bowler in this match.

Rashid is also available at 7.5 in the player of the match market, which also looks like a good accompanying longshot bet.

His ability to add a few quick runs with the bat makes this even more appealing.

Rizwan for Top Batsman

Mohammad Rizwan is having an impressive IPL 2021 and sits only behind Babar Azam in the top run-scorer charts.

He has not only been consistent but has also been able to kick on and chalk up some big scores.

He looks a value bet in the top Multan batsman market at 3.25 with bet365, which is a much bigger price than a lot of other bookies.
