MUL vs LAH, Match Preview

Rizwan has taken the Sultans to their third consecutive PSL final. They bowled out Qalandars for just 76 runs in the Qualifier to seal their final berth. Lahore Qalandars bounced back as they chased down a 172-run target against Peshawar Zalmi in the 2nd Eliminator to reach their second consecutive final. Mohammad Rizwan, who won the player of the tournament award last year, will be happy to see his middle order in great form. Rilee Rossouw, Kieron Pollard, and Tim David are consistent match-winners for Multan Sultans. Before their win over Peshawar in the Eliminator 2, Lahore Qalandars were bowled out for 76 and 110 runs in their previous two innings.
