The two teams have had contrasting routes to the summit meeting. The Sultans coasted to their fourth consecutive PSL final with a comfortable seven-wicket victory over Peshawar Zalmi in the qualifier. United, on the other hand, had to fight their way through two eliminators to make their first PSL title clash since 2018.
Multan Sultans finished as runners-up in the previous two editions of PSL, and are looking to go all the way this time. They finished as the table-toppers in the league stage, with seven wins out of 10 games.
