PSL 2025: Multan vs Karachi playing 11, live toss, streaming details
The Multan Sultans have had a disappointing campaign in the 2025 Pakistan Super League, and now face an unpredictable Karachi Kings team at Lahore's Gaddafi Stadium this week.
With only one win from seven matches and six losses, Multan Sultans find themselves at the bottom of the points table, with three games remaining. Their latest defeat was a heavy one at the hands of the Quetta Gladiators, where they were dismissed for a paltry 89 in just 17 overs, and the Gladiators easily chased down the target in a mere 6.5 overs.
On the other hand, Karachi Kings have had a more mixed season, with three wins and three losses from their six matches. They are still in the hunt for a playoff spot. However, they recently fell short in a chase of 143 against the same Quetta Gladiators, losing by just five runs due to underwhelming performances from their middle order.
While Karachi Kings have shown inconsistency this season, they are expected to come out on top in this matchup, with the Multan Sultans still struggling to find form.
Multan Sultans playing 11 (probable): Yasir Khan, Mohammad Rizwan (C), Usman Khan (WK), Kamran Ghulam, Curtis Campher, Michael Bracewell, Iftikhar Ahmed, David Willey, Usama Mir, Mohammad Hasnain, Ubaid Shah

Senior Pakistan players 'shocked, felt disrespected' after PCB's move; considered 'rejecting central' contracts: Report
Senior players of the Pakistan Cricket team were reportedly left stunned after learning that the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) removed Category A from the central contract, effective July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026. Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan were the only two players in Category A last season. The PCB made the announcement on Tuesday, as 30 male cricketers were handed the contract. Babar Azam (L) and Mohammad Rizwan were both not picked for the Asia Cup(AFP) Compared to the previous year's contract list of 27 players, PCB expanded the pool to 30, which included 12 new additions. These players were divided equally into Categories B, C, and D. Notably, no player has been selected for Category A in this cycle. According to a report in Cricket Pakistan, senior players, none of whom were named, "were not only shocked but also displeased, feeling disrespected." It added that these players even vented their frustration with each other in private chats, and a few even considered rejecting the central contract. For the unversed, a player can still represent the country without a central contract. Babar and Rizwan, who were the only players in Category A last season, were demoted to Category B. The players were reportedly made aware of the decision on Monday when an official from the board contacted them. Although the selectors were not present, they did not explain their decision after the official announcement. The report further hinted that there was an impression that "few players got contracts or promotions under the influence of Aaqib Javed and coach Mike Hesson." In fact, questions were raised on the addition of Faheem Ashraf to the list, who only played nine T20Is this year, scoring 97 runs and taking six wickets. However, PCB sources denied the claim of favouritism and stressed "100% merit was followed, and as players' performances improve, their contract categories will also improve accordingly."

Pakistan Stars Left Red-Faced As PCB Takes Drastic 'Central Contract' Step
Not a single Pakistan cricket team player was awarded the prestigious Category A contract by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for the 2025-26 season. Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan - two players who were in Category A last season - were demoted to Category B. The decision came just days after the two cricketers were not included in the squad for Asia Cup 2025. Pakistan's Test captain Shan Masood, who was in Category B last season, was demoted to Category D while Fakhar Zaman, who missed out on a central contract in 2024, was included in Category B. According to a report by ESPN Cricinfo, the decision to not include any player in Category A was taken after considering their performances. Sources close to the development said that the performances "did not lend favour to any player deserving a category A contract". The PCB pointed out the fact that the duo were demoted from the highest band. "Notably, no player has been selected for Category A in this cycle," the statement said. Abrar Ahmed, Saim Ayub, Haris Rauf, Salman Ali Agha and Shadab Khan were all promoted to Category B. Meanwhile, Sufiyan Muqim, Hasan Nawaz and Mohammad Haris did not have a central contract last year and were awarded a new one. Aamir Jamal, Kamran Ghulam, Mir Hamza, Irfan Khan Niazi and Usman Khan were dropped. Category B: Abrar Ahmed, Babar Azam, Fakhar Zaman, Haris Rauf, Hasan Ali, Mohammad Rizwan, Saim Ayub, Salman Ali Agha, Shadab Khan, Shaheen Shah Afridi. Category C: Abdullah Shafique, Faheem Ashraf, Hasan Nawaz, Mohammad Haris, Mohammad Nawaz, Naseem Shah, Noman Ali, Sahibzada Farhan, Sajid Khan, Saud Shakeel.
