There is a huge amount of talent with bat and ball across both sides and this match could well be a rehearsal for the final. Overall, we think the Lahore Qalandars XI has more match-winners.
🏆 Lahore Qalandars vs Multan Sultans Prediction
The winner of this match will advance straight to Sunday’s final back at the Gaddafi Stadium. As a result, we expect both teams to go all out looking to win this play-off. Form wise, Multan Sultans have been in better form and Lahore Qalandars will not be as much of a threat with the ball if Rashid Khan is unable to play. However, even without Khan, we still rate the bowling attack. Combined with the strong batters throughout the order, we are backing Lahore Qalandars to win.
