Team Previews
Lahore Blues Preview
Lahore Blues enter the semi-finals with momentum after a 33-run win over Sialkot. Umar Siddiq (189 runs in the tournament) and Hussain Talat (9 wickets) have been standout performers. Their batting depth, with contributions from Nisar Ahmed (21 off 7 in QF), makes them formidable. The bowling attack, led by Talat and Hunain Shah, is well-rounded.
Multan Preview
Multan narrowly defeated Karachi Whites by 7 runs, thanks to Zeeshan Ashraf (60 off 34) and Muhammad Ismail (10 wickets this season). Their middle order remains shaky, and they rely heavily on Imam-ul-Haq (120 runs) for stability. Ismail’s bowling (3/34 in QF) will be crucial against Lahore’s strong batting.
