It is the third game of this
season's third Super League of Pakistan and the first Multan Sultans take over
the Lahore Qalandars in Dubai. This match will be played on February 23 in
Dubai. The match will start at 9 PST (4:00 GMT).
With the first game out of the
way, the Multan Sultans will be feeling much better and much less nervous about
entering this second round of their first season of the Pakistan Super League.
But nothing like winning your first game and that's exactly what the Multan
side did.
Led by Shoaib Malik, they
first restricted Peshawar Zalmi to 151 and then made a legal chase with five
balls to spare.
Malik skipper Sultans will
seek to win two wins in two games when they play a team like Lahore Qalandars,
who did not have the best of the first two seasons. In fact, the Qalandars, who
started the first two seasons as a favorite, did not even make the playoffs.
Yes, two seasons for the
Qalandars and finished fifth in both, to leave them in the top four.
Can Captain Brendon McCullum
guide you to something different? He can expect the support of an early talent
in Fakhar Zaman, who, like McCullum himself, has the attitude of following the
cupcakes of the word.
And the curious of Sunil
Narine and Yasir Shah can make a net of deception around the Multans in this
third match of the PSL?
The big problem for the
Qalandars is finding a last-minute substitute for Chris Lynn, who was excluded
from the competition even before the first ball was knocked over. Lynn shifted
his shoulder in an international against New Zealand on February 21.
The Qalandars also had to
bring Denesh Ramdin as cover for Mustafizur Rahman, who may not play in this
game. As for their other bowling options, Sohail Khan, Imran Khan and Mitchell
McClenaghan will also seek to add value to the side, but it will be interesting
to see how the course in Dubai should play - very entertaining. The surface
could force them to come in with a spinner extra instead of three pacers.
