The match, which was originally scheduled to be held on Sunday but was preponed by 24 hours due to a high alert of bad weather, will be an opportunity for Multan Sultans to avenge their defeat from the last year.
They certainly have the firepower to do so with Mohammad Rizwan’s current form (seven runs away from winning the Green Cap) and the explosive batting abilities of Usman Khan, who forced his place in the playing 11 by getting in-form Shan Masood dropped.
Rilee Rossouw, Tim David and Kieron Pollards in the middle order with the latter two also playing some explosive knocks against Qalandars in Qualifier earlier this week.
Among bowlers, they have the best of the season in Abbas Afridi (23 wickets) and Ihsanullah (21) as the duo lead the Maroon Cap race with 44 wickets between them ahead of the final. Pacer Shahnawaz Dahani has made himself available for the game but is unlikely to find a place in the playing 11.
Spinner Usama Mir has been influential too with 14 wickets and is also the most influential Pakistan spinner this PSL in terms of wickets.
For Qalandars, Mirza Tahir Baig’s half-century was crucial in reaching the final as they defeated Peshawar Zalmi in the final. Fakhar Zaman’s form has been a worry with 25 runs in the last three innings.
Sikandar Raza, who holds the highest strike rate in PSL in terms of at least 10 matches played at over 180 strike rate, also got some runs under his belt while keeper-batter Sam Billings showed some consistency with a knock of 34.
While among bowlers, Haris Rauf and Zaman Khan have been in good shape with wickets while Shaheen Afridi’s form has dipped a wicket.
Rashid Khan could be their key performer as he is their top wicket-taker with 18 wickets in 10 games.
