The exhilarating league-stage matches of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) concluded in style as Lahore Qalandars, Multan Sultans, Peshawar Zalmi, and Islamabad United moved to the playoffs phase of the tournament.

The defending champions Lahore Qalandars and runners-up of PSL 2022 Multan Sultans will face each other in the qualifier match on March 15 at the Gaddafi Cricket Stadium at 7:00pm.

The defending champions are confident they will keep their winning momentum against the Sultans, while the Rizwan-led side will be looking to jump back to its feet and power up to the final as they did last year.

While the winning side will qualify for the final, the losing side will play the second eliminator against the winning side of the first eliminator.

The Qalandars dominated the Sultans in both league-stage matches of the ongoing season of the tournament.

In their opening match of the ongoing season, Qalandars defeated Sultans by one run after a thrilling contest thanks to Fakhar Zaman — who played a competent knock and scored 66 crucial innings, including three fours and five sixes — and Qalandars’ destructive bowlers who successfully defended the 175-run target.

In their second encounter, the Qalandars once again triumphed over the Sultans — the home side — winning their second match by 21 runs.
