Central Punjab locks horns with Southern Punjab in Match 24 of the National T20 Cup. Both teams have found it difficult to get going in the league and find themselves fourth and sixth on the table. Things could change before the start of play, however, as a Sindh victory in the first game of the day would take Central Punjab out of semi-final places.

A victory in this game is vital for both teams. More so for Southern Punjab, as a defeat could see them knocked out of contention for the semi-finals. A win for Central Punjab would help them up the pressure on both Sindh and Balochistan, who are not necessarily sure of a top-four spot anymore.

Babar Azam (captain), Saad Nasim (vice-captain), Abdullah Shafiq, Abid Ali, Ahmed Bashir, Ali Shan, Bilal Asif, Ehsan Adil, Irfan Khan Niazi, Kamran Akmal (wicketkeeper), Naseem Shah, Qasim Akram, Rizwan Hussain, Sohaibullah, Usman Qadir and Zafar Gohar.

Pitch Report

With an average score in the range of 170, the Pindi Club Ground has been kind to batsmen in the National T20 Cup so far. However, the pacers have been able to extract swing from the surface, and thus, have fared better than the spinners.
