The weather would again be ideal for a cricket match and we expect no rain. The temperature would be around 30 degrees.

Azam Khan has been in great form. Azam has been instrumental in United winning matches from the jaws of defeat. Azam has scored 277 runs in 7 games at an average of 55.40.
Munro was outstanding in the last match, Scoring 63 runs of just 29 balls. With the tournament touching its final stages, Munro is a real threat and can be a real impactful player.
Rashid did not have a great tournament until the last match where he picked 3 crucial wickets and dismantled the Sultans. He, however, is a genuine match winner for any team he plays.
Shafique has been mighty impressive in the 4 matches he has played so far. Shafique has scored 183 runs at an average of 45.75 and looks solid at number 3 for Lahore
Hales hasn’t scored a big one in the tournament but has been destructive in the short innings that he has played. A big one from Hales seems around the corner.
