Preview:
Multan Sultans will take on Lahore Qalandars in the final of the Pakistan Super League on Sunday. Multan had defeated Lahore in the qualifier game by 28 runs to qualify for the final. Multan made 163 runs and in reply, Lahore could make only 135 runs for the loss of nine wickets.
Lahore defeated Islamabad United in the second eliminator to book their place in the final. They managed to win the match by six runs in a last over finish. On paper, both the teams are equal but it would be difficult for Lahore to overcome the challenge of Multan. Lahore have lost two out of the three matches this year to Multan and it would be one factor that might come into the play.
