The league stage is over and it is time for some more enticing games. The first qualifier will be played in Dubai before the action moves onto Lahore.
The winner of this match will book a place in the big final which will be played in front a full-house in Karachi, while the loser will meet the winner of the first eliminator.
It will be Karachi’s first high-profile match considering they haven’t been able to qualify for the playoffs in the first two editions. It would be interesting to see how Morgan XI fare in the qualifier.
