Although losing their last league encounter against Karachi Kings, Lahore Qalandars (LQ) will not be concerned because they were without several of their important players in that game. Qalandars ended the season as league leaders thanks to their outstanding achievements throughout the season and will now face Multan Sultans (MS) in the first qualifier of the current PSL 2023 on March 15 at Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore.
The team’s captain, Shaheen Shah Afridi, is in the outstanding form right now and will be crucial to the team’s success in the important game. He will be fresh to face Multan Sultans, who have failed to overcome Qalandars in the current season since he received rest for the previous game. Fakhar Zaman, the team’s opening batsman, is in excellent form right now, having just scored an incredible century against Islamabad United. They appear prepared to face the Sultans since they also have Sikandar Raza and David Wiese, two seasoned match-winners.
The squad captained by Mohammad Rizwan started the season brightly, but they only won two of their last five games. Their record versus Qalandars this season is also concerning, but the good news is that they have the talent to win the game and advance to the finals.
Usman Khan, the opener, is particularly noteworthy at the moment because the 27-year-old scored 120 runs off 43 deliveries in the last game. Rizwan, the captain, assisted him effectively in the middle, scoring 55 points off of 29 deliveries. It is crucial to remember that the surface in Gaddafi won’t be as conducive to batting as it was in Rawalpindi. Sultans must thus make proper preparations and get a respectable score in order to advance to the finals.

Probable Playing XI:
Lahore Qalandars (LQ):
Fakhar Zaman, Kamran Ghulam, Abdullah Shafique, Sam Billings (WK), Hussain Talat, Sikandar Raza, David Wiese, Rashid Khan, Shaheen Afridi (C), Haris Rauf, Zaman Khan
Multan Sultans (MS):

Probable Playing XI:
Probable best batter:
Mohammad Rizwan:
Mohammad Rizwan, a stumper-batter, is one of the most consistent performers in international cricket right now. In the current season, the opener has scored 483 runs in 10 matches, making him the tournament’s best run-scorer. But, the qualifiers are a different ball game, and he may be under a lot of pressure, but the 30-year-old has the potential to overcome it and rule supreme once more.
Probable Best Bowler
Rashid Khan:
With 15 wickets from eight games so far this season, the top-ranked Afghan spinner is presently the third-leading wicket-taker in the competition. The 24-year-old player will be extremely important for the team against Multan Sultans since he has a lot of experience playing these kinds of major games.
