Islamabad United will be taking on Multan Sultans in Match 8 of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2022 to be played on Tuesday (February 1).

Pitch Report: The surfaces at the National Stadium in Karachi have been quite flat and really good for batting. Expect another such track that shall aid one more high-scoring fixture.
Who will win the ISL vs MUL Dream11 PSL 2022 encounter?
Very tough game to predict since both sides are placed in the top leg of the points table and both look quite good with their talent depth and balance. If at all, the Sultans would probably carry an edge, knowing they have warmed up to the tournament with wins in both their previous matches.
Alex Hales (10 credits): Hales displayed his class with the bat in United’s handsome victory over Peshawar Zalmi on Sunday. The English batter blasted an unbeaten 82 off 54 deliveries, including 13 fours and 1 six, to take his team home.
Paul Stirling (9.5 credits): Stirling, Hales’ partner at the top, smashed a breathtaking 57 off 25 balls in the same match and pushed United towards a comfortable victory in the second half.
Mohammad Rizwan (10.5 credits): Rizwan has started off the PSL 2022 in great fashion with two stand-out knocks. He boasts of 121 runs after his two innings of the competition with a strike-rate of 135.95. The consistent wicketkeeper-batter is a fruitful captaincy option.
David Willey (8.5 credits): At his best, Willey can prove to be a real handful with the new ball, employing his left-arm angle to great effect. The England pacer has taken one wicket and bowled his overs with an economy of 7.22 in PSL 2022 so far.
Khushdil Shah (8.5 credits): In Sultans’ last completed match (as of Sunday) against Qalandars, Shah produced an exhilarating cameo of 18* from 4 balls. It was a brief but telling example of the promise of the aggressive middle-order batter.
Tim David (8.5 credits): David’s willow has been quiet in the recent months but the Singapore-born Sultans’ batter would have happy memories of playing in PSL last year. He played few exceptional innings for Lahore Qalandars in PSL 2021’s second half, making 180 runs with a strike-rate of 166.66.
Mohammad Rizwan (wk & c), Paul Stirling, Alex Hales (vc), Khushdil Shah, David Willey, Faheem Ashraf, Tim David, Imran Tahir, Marchant de Lange, Hasan Ali, S Dahani
