The unpredictable batting line up of Lahore Lions let them down in the 3rd Qualifying match against Northern Districts while Southern Express lost their consecutive game of the event vs. Mumbai Indians.

Players to watch

Farveez Maharoof rescued Southern Express in the previous game and Danushka Gunathilaka along with Angelo Perera got a start but were unable to escalate. Kuasal Perera and Jehan Mubarak should bat bravely but they have to work out on their bowling.

Saad Nasim played a positive knock of 58 runs against Northern Districts whereas Nasir Jamshed, Ahmed Shehzad, Mohammad Hafeez and Umar Akmal must bat with courage. Aizaz Cheema grabbed three wickets, Asif Raza was economical bowler but Mohammad Hafeez and Wahab Riaz proved too expensive.
