The Lahore Qalandars finished the league stage at the top of the table, winning seven out of their ten games, while the Multan Sultans came in a close second with six wins out of ten.
The highly anticipated eighth edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) is drawing to a close, with the Multan Sultans and the Lahore Qalandars set to battle it out in the title clash. The final will take place at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore today, March 18th, after the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) made the proactive decision to move the event forward by a day due to potential bad weather on March 19th and 20th.
This change means that there will now be two reserve days, increasing the likelihood of a full match being played. The Multan Sultans, led by Pakistan wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan, will face off against the Shaheen Afridi-led Lahore Qalandars in the PSL 2023 final, which is scheduled to start at 7pm local time.
The Lahore Qalandars finished the league stage at the top of the table, winning seven out of their ten games, while the Multan Sultans came in a close second with six wins out of ten. The head-to-head record between these two teams this season has been mixed, with Lahore winning both league games and the Sultans coming out on top in the Qualifier.
The Sultans will have a psychological advantage over the Qalandars after their convincing win in the Qualifier on March 15th. However, Shaheen Afridi and his team will take heart from their ability to chase down a tricky total of 172 in the second Eliminator against Peshawar Zalmi, and will believe that they can go the distance as well.
