It was Multan Sultans, they had to face in the Qualifier 1 of the tournament. After a commanding performance in the league stage, the Qalandars faced a heavy defeat against the Sultans by 84 runs. But being the table toppers has it own pros. Shaheen Afridi and company wil get a second shot at qualifying for the finals and defending their title. They will have to face the Peshawar Zalmis in the Eliminator 2. 

Meanwhile, it has been a rocky ride for the Peshwar Zalmis in this tournament. They managed to win five of their 10 matches and finished at number four in the points table. But Babar Azam's men delivered their best preformance when it was required the most. Against Islamabad United in the Eliminator 1, they held their nerves at a crucial juncutre and managed to prevail in the contest by 12 runs. 

The Zalmis will now be playing Lahore Qalandars in the Eliminator 2 and the winner of the contest will book their berth in the grand finale of the tournament.

LAH vs Eliminator 2: Top Five Picks

  1. Fakhar Zaman (LAH): After scoring a century (115) against Islamabad United in Match no.26, Fakhar Zaman has managed to score 13 and 6 in the last two games. He is Lahore Qalandar's highest run-getter with one hundred and two half-centuries as he looks to take his side into the second straight final by perfoming in a big way at the top of the order.
  2. Sam Billings (LAH): Wicketkeeper batter Sam Billings has struck the third-most runs for the Qalandars this season. In the last 3 matches, he has got starts but hasnt quite been able to convert those into a good score. Batting at no.4, he looks a worthy pick for this eliminator clash.
  3. Haris Rauf (LAH): Right arm fast bowler Haris Rauf is the leading wicket-taker for the Qalandars in PSL 8. Overall, he has picked the third-most wickets this campaign and is the most in-form bowler. Rauf also snared 3 wickets for 34 runs in the last Qualifier encounter against Multan Sultans. 
  4. Babar Azam (PES): The Zalmis skipper has been in good batting form in this tournament. Babar Azam played a vital knock even in the Eliminator 1 and will look to continue his form in this clash. 
  5. Saim Ayub (PES): The middle-order batter has been in decent touch in this tournament. Saim Ayub will be an important cog in Peshawar's batting machinery in the all important match.
