Multan Sultans will be without some of their big names in this game. Lahore Qalandars will start as the favourites.
Mohammad Rizwan: Mohammad Rizwan was the second-highest run-scorer of PSL 2022 with 546 runs at an average of 68.25 in 12 matches including seven 50+ scores. Rizwan is known for his consistency and will be an ideal captaincy choice.
Fakhar Zaman: Fakhar Zaman will be an excellent captaincy pick. He was the highest run-scorer of PSL 2022 with 588 runs in 13 games at an average of 45.23 with 7 fifties and 1 hundred to his name. Zaman will be the best batter for Lahore.
Shaheen Afridi: Shaheen Afridi is amongst the best pace bowlers in world cricket. He is returning from an injury and will be eyeing a good performance on his comeback. Shaheen was the highest wicket-taker of PSL 2022 (20 wickets). He will be a good captaincy option.
Kamran Ghulam: Kamran Ghulam is expected to bat in the top 3. He scored 299 runs in the last season at an average of 24.92. He can score big once he gets going. Ghulam will be an excellent differential pick.
Zaman Khan: Zaman Khan picked up 18 wickets in the last edition of the PSL. He is the third pacer for the Lahore Qalandars and will bowl in the power play and then in the death overs. He will be the best differential pick.
Hussain Talat: Hussain Talat will bat too low and will bowl a maximum of 1 or 2 overs. His fantasy value is not that good and he will be our player to avoid.
