Team Previews
Abbottabad Preview
Abbottabad enters the semi-finals with confidence after a 4-wicket win over Lahore Whites. Kamran Ghulam (163 runs in the tournament) and Shahzaib Khan I (58 in QF) anchor the batting, while Khalid Usman (5 wickets) leads the spin attack. Their middle-order resilience (Afaq Ahmed’s 31* in QF) makes them strong contenders.
Peshawar Preview
Peshawar scraped through against Faisalabad by 3 wickets, thanks to Sahibzada Farhan (440 runs this season) and Israrullah (30 in QF). However, their middle-order wobbles remain a concern. Mohammad Amir Khan (7 wickets) and Usman Tariq must step up with the ball.
