Preview:
Multan Sultans will square off with Lahore Qalandars in the first of the double-header on Saturday. Multan Sultans are off to a flying start with an impressive win over mighty Karachi Kings in the opening game of the tournament. On a slow surface, they bowled tight lines and lengths and didn’t allow the opposition batters to score runs freely. Thereafter, the captain’s knock from Mohammad Rizwan got them home comfortably in the end.
Lahore Qalandars have made small changes to their squad for this year’s edition with Shaheen Afridi is all set to don the captaincy role. They missed out on qualifying for the semi-finals last year as they finished 5th in the standings with 10 points. With plenty of hopes, they will be looking forward to starting their campaign with a win.

Pitch Report:
The wicket is on the slower side and the spinners are getting more turn and bounce off the surface. The batters should possess a high level of skill to score more than 7 runs an over. Bowling first is the safest option here.
