Multan Sultans will take on Lahore Qalandars in the Eliminator-2 match of PSL 2020 aka Pakistan Super League which will be played at the National Stadium in Karachi. The PSL is finally back to complete its playoffs stages after the Covid-19 pandemic break.
Multan Sultans finished the league phase of the tournament as table-toppers and, that’s why they are getting yet another opportunity in the tournament despite losing their first playoff game. They lost the last game in the Super Over and, a defeat here will end their campaign. The batting was horrific in the last game and, they need to come out stronger in this game.
Lahore Qalandars, on the other hand, registered a brilliant victory in their last game and, a win here will take them through to the finals of the tournament. Mohammad Hafeez proved his class yet again whereas, the bowlers were brilliant as well. This side has some aggressive players in their ranks and, this is going to be a big encounter for them.

Masood has been the best batsman of the side this season and has scored 256 runs at an average of 28.44 whereas, Rossouw has already scored a century in PSL 2020 and is a gun T20 player. Both of them were really unlucky to get out in the last game and, should be retained.

He has scored 291 runs at an average of 48.50 whereas, Wiese is coming on the back of a really good T20 Blast campaign, he bowled brilliantly in the last game whereas, he was vital in his batting as well.
