Team Analysis:
Multan Sultans: The defending champions are all set to take on the same team they defeated in Qualifier 1 by 28-runs. Sultans' bowlers did phenomenally well in that match. Shahnawaz Dahani's 3-wicket haul and David Willey's 2 wickets restricted Lahore Qalandars at 135 in 20-overs of the game. Both the bowlers have done phenomenally well in the tournament and must be in the fantasy team. Imran Tahir and Khushdil Shah provide the two best spin-bowling options for the fantasy team as both players can clinch wickets in crucial situations. Skipper Rizwan and Shan Masood are among the best batting options as both the batters have led the team to significant wins in the tournament.
Lahore Qalandars: Shaheen-led side bounced back stronger after losing the first Qualifier against Sultans. As per reports, Rashid Khan is flying back to join Lahore Qalandars in a high-stake game and his presence in the squad will give a huge edge to the side. Fakhar Zaman has been a standout performer for the team. His 63 of 45 against Sultans in Qualifier 1 is something he will hope to repeat. His presence in the fantasy team is a must. The team has exceptional batting options at the top order; batters like Abdullah Shafique, Kamran Ghulam and Harry Brook have done well in the tournament. At the same time, David Wiese is an all-rounder to watch out for. Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf will surely provide an edge in the fantasy team.
