As for this game, the official tournament website previews:
“In a short tournament like this, it is important that the experienced players and the men in form shoulder the bulk of the responsibility. Among the batsmen, the Northern Knights will look towards Kane Williamson – the only batsman to post a half-century on the opening day – to get among the runs yet again and hope the others can come to the party.
“Lahore Lions have some very dangerous batsmen in their line-up; Nasir Jamshed, Ahmed Shehzad, Mohammed Hafeez and Umar Akmal have well-established credentials at the international level, and it will be interesting to see who among them delivers the goods on the day.
“Among the bowlers, the Northern Knights will look towards the two quicks – Trent Boult and Tim Southee – to strike early and hope Ish Sodhi can work his magic with the leg breaks. Lahore Lions’ Aizaz Cheema bowled beautifully on the opening day and the pressure will be on him to strike early yet again.”
