There was a bit of recovery towards the last few overs as they got 45 off the final four. Sikander Raza's provided the much-needed impetus to the innings and Hussain Talat got a quickfire 20. The spin duo of Usama Mir and Akeal Hosein didn't let Lahore get off the hook and enjoyed bowling on this surface. There is plenty of seam movement on offer and assistance for spinners as well, should be an interesting contest.
Multan Sultans won the toss and opted to bowl first in the first match.
