Even the batters will have to step up while some of the captaincy findings from Sarfaraz Ahmed have also been uncertain at times.

After beginning their campaign with a defeat to the Multan Sultans, they have succeeded in three successive games and will be looking to record their fourth victory in a row tomorrow. The Qalandars supported a comparatively mediocre calculation of 174 runs clashing against Islamabad United in their earlier meeting.
