Date: April 11th, 2025
Time: 9:00 PM 
Venue: Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, Rawalpindi

Key Player Fights

Matthew Short vs. Shaheen Afridi
Short enjoys hammering in the powerplay, but Shaheen's insidious inswingers under lights may try out his technique early.

Colin Munro vs. Haris Rauf
Munro's attacking play will be tried by Rauf's pace and cutters—anticipate a hot verbal duel in the middle overs.

Shadab Khan vs. Sikandar Raza
Both are cunning all-rounders who are match winners—Shadab's leg-spinning talent against Raza's spin as well as powerful hitting will be a clash of brains.

Azam Khan vs. Zaman Khan
Azam's death raw power might conflict with Zaman's yorkers and slow balls, death-over drama ensured.

Imad Wasim vs. Fakhar Zaman
Fakhar seeks to dominate early on, but Imad's tight left-arm spin might be utilized to contain or even send him back.
