Fantasy Cricket Tips: The second match on the doubleheader Friday will see Lahore Qalandars take on Multan Sultans in their inaugural match this season. Both the teams failed to qualify for the playoffs would be hoping to make a winning start to their season in PSL 5. It will be an opportunity to begin their PSL campaign in front of the home crowd.
Weather Conditions:
The weather is expected to stay consistent for the entire 40 overs in the evening. The temperature might drop to as low as 7 degrees during the night but will not hamper the match proceedings at any time during the game.
Pitch Report:
The pitch at Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium has been under scrutiny for its slow nature. It tends to assist spinners, in making shot-making difficult for the batting side. Teams usually opt to bat first and post as many runs in the first innings. The trend here is to defend totals and play spinners who can turn the ball with ease.

No injury concerns from either camp. All players are fit and available for selection.
