This is the first time that Multan Sultans have qualified to play the Playoffs of HBL PSL in 2020.

In 2018, Shoaib Malik appointed as the captain of the team. Multan Sultan started well and they were in the top 3 at the end of the 1st round of the group stage. But they couldn’t perform well in the second round and they lost a total of 5 matches and only won 4 matches. 1 match had no result so they couldn’t qualified for the playoffs.
In 2019, again Shoaib Malik leads the team of Multan Sultans, and this time they performed even worse. The team ended up with the same position of 5/6 at the end of the tournament and couldn’t qualify for the next stage. Multan Sultans only won 3 matches and had lost 7.
