Multan Sultans vs. Lahore Qalandars: Two Strong Oppositions in the Final Face-Off

With HBL PSL 7 coming to a close, Multan Sultans and Lahore Qalandars, the two top teams of the Points table, have managed to get a seat in the final of PSL 7. Both teams have a very consistent record with marginal differences between their sides and overall formation. After losing to Multan in Qualifier-1, Lahore bounced back and defeated Islamabad United in a crunch game. But it takes nerves of metal to keep your side calm and then make a comeback. After defeating the favorites, Lahore Qalandars hunt for their first PSL title. On the other hand, its captain, cool, Mohammad Rizwan, would be backing his boys to stay confident and win the ultimate clash.

Multan Sultans is a wise and confident unit under the leadership of Mohammad Rizwan. Going in the all-important final, Rizwan might not change the winning combination. Multan Sultans got ample time preparing for the final game, which is expected to be a thriller. Multan would depend upon Shan Masood, Rilee Rossouw, M.Rizwan, Johnson Charles, Shahnawaz Dahani, Khushdil Shah, Rauman Raees, and Imran Tahir. Asif Afridi will also be playing a pivotal role if he can land to the ball in tricky spots and rattle the Lahore players.

• Shan Masood;
• ‌Mohammad Rizwan;
• Rilee Rossouw;
• Asif Afridi;
• Shahnawaz Dahani.

Lahore Qalandars haven't won a PSL title yet, and this would be a golden chance for Shaheen and his boys to perform and lift the trophy in front of their home crowd. It's one last time in this PSL that Lahore Qalandars would be expecting a gutsy inning from Fakhar Zaman, Abdullah Shafique, David Wiese, Phil Salt, Harry Brooks, and professor Mohammed Hafeez. Lahore is undoubtedly a confident unit, but they need to ensure their bowlers pitch it in the right areas and play according to the plan. Lahore Qalandars would be looking to play intelligent and competitive cricket, for getting their first PSL title. David Wiese has consistently produced some magical moments for the Qalandars, but can he repeat it in the final clash?

• Fakhar Zaman;
• ‌Abdullah Shafique;
• Shaheen Shah Afridi;
• ‌David Wiese;
• Haris Rauf.

The final battle would be a challenge for the two young skippers, who are equally capable of guiding their team to Victory. I would be going with Multan Sultan to win the game and claim its second PSL title in a row.
