Our Prediction
Favorites to win: Multan Sultans
Multan Sultans has a strong batting core which can really come to their advantage in the coming match against Lahore Qalandars. Lahore has a better bowling unit but the match being a domestic T20 game, bowlers are expected to be taken on remand except a few. The ground dimensions are also small which might favour the better batting unit more and hence Multan Sultans are the favourites to win this match.
