Multan Sultans Seek Continued Dominance with Ashton Turner
Michael Bracewell celebrated a wicket during Multan’s PSL 10 match against Lahore Qalandars on April 22, 2025. The game took place at Multan Cricket Stadium. The photograph captured a moment of momentum for the Sultans.
Multan Sultans enter Pakistan Super League Season 11 with high expectations. The franchise aims to seek continued dominance under new leadership.
New captain, familiar core
Australia’s Ashton Turner will captain the side. His experience in T20 leagues and finishing ability add value at the death.
The leadership change marks a slight transition for an otherwise settled unit. The team will be watched closely as Turner adapts to PSL conditions.
Top order and batting depth
Shan Masood will anchor the innings at the top. Steve Smith provides experience and tactical nous in the middle order.
Josh Philippe offers power in the powerplay. Sahibzada Farhan is an additional top-order option for flexibility.
Middle order concerns
The squad lacks a group of proven finishers. That weakness could prove decisive in tight knockout matches.
Young all-rounders can help, but consistent middle-order hitting remains a priority.
All-rounders and spin options
Mohammad Nawaz remains a vital all-round presence for both departments. Arafat Minhas is an emerging talent adding depth.
Faisal Akram and Tabraiz Shamsi strengthen the spin attack. Their variety suits spin-friendly venues and middle-overs control.
Pace attack and experience
Mohammad Wasim Jr leads the pace bowling with strike ability. Peter Siddle brings control and veteran guidance to the seam unit.
This mix of youth and experience forms one of Multan’s main strengths on paper.
Recent record and expectations
Multan Sultans have been among the most consistent PSL sides in recent seasons. They have frequently reached finals and maintained a high win percentage.
However, converting strong campaigns into titles has not always followed. Knockout matches have exposed the need for stronger finishing.
Outlook for PSL 11
The Sultans remain strong contenders for playoffs if key players deliver. Adaptation to new captaincy will be a key factor.
Multan’s structured approach, balanced bowling, and experienced top order give them a solid foundation. Filmogaz.com will monitor their progress closely.
