After winning the toss, Multan Sultans decided to field first against Lahore Qalandars in the eleventh match of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 11 at Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium on Friday.
The toss was initially delayed due to a wet outfield, with officials subsequently clearing the ground for play. However, the match was shortened to 13 overs per side.
Defending champions Lahore and Multan had faced each other 21 times, with Multan Sultans leading the head-to-head record with 11 wins, while Lahore Qalandars have claimed 10 victories.
