Multan Sultans are already the defending champions and are a stronger side than Islamabad United, at least when the bowling department is concerned.

Popular Betting Odds For ISL vs MUL, 8th Match, Today Match Prediction, Cricket Betting Tips
Top Batsman for Islamabad United- Alex Hales
Alex Hales completely dominated the Zalmi bowlers in the last match and sent every fourth ball he faced to the boundary while finishing 82 not out. He accounted for 13 fours and 1 six with a strike rate of 151.85. His performance in the BBL was exceptional with the Sydney Thunder where he amassed 383 runs in 13 matches remaining the second-highest score for his team. He will be looking to carry on the same class heading into this contest.
Top Batsman for Multan Sultans- Mohammed Rizwan (3.20)
Rizwan is currently in red-hot form in the shorter format and continued his form in the first match against Karachi Kings scoring an unbeaten fifty. He gave a platform to the chase hammering 69 off 42 in the last match against Lahore Qalandars with a strike rate of 164.29. Rizwan is currently in the form of his life and has amassed 1326 runs in 29 T20Is and a strike rate of 134.89 in a single year. He is a must-pick here for the betting players as he is the most probable to go on a demolishing knock against Islamabad United.
Top Bowler for Islamabad United- Hasan Ali
Ali bagged two major scalps in the last match against Peshawar Zalmi while giving away 8.50 runs per over. He is a modern-day right-arm fast bowler who relies on variations rather than on raw pace and has bagged 60 wickets in 48 matches in his T20Is career so far. He is a good pick here for the betting players and is expected to continue his form on the Karachi pitch with his variations, especially in the death overs.
Top Bowler for Multan Sultans- Imran Tahir
Tahir was crowned as the man of the match in the first fixture against Karachi Kings for his stunning bowling stint of 3/16. He didn’t let any batter go for the big shots and kept a check on run flow while taking the wicket of settled batters. He again bagged a single scalp in the last match while giving away 8 runs per over. Tahir is expected to carry his lethal form alongside his experience in this contest as well. So far he has bagged 63 wickets in 38 T20I matches with an economy of 6.73.
