TOSS: Punjab invites Balochistan to bat first after winning the toss.

 

Shoaib Malik-led Punjab team can b called a one of the most strong batting site of the tournament with likes of Mohammad Rizwan, Salman Butt, Saad Nasim, Shan Masood and Asad Shafiq. But, their bowling department does not contain any big name but Ahsan Adil.

In comparison to Punjab, Azhar Ali-led Balochistan has better bowling and batting strength, what can be called a balanced team. Umar Akmal, Babar Azam, Azhar Ali and Awais Zia are some prominent batsmen from Balochistan, while their bowling is also very impeccable bowling attack with Saeed Ajmal, Mohammad Nawaz, Usama Mir, Bilawal Bhatti and Sohail Tanvir.

The match will start at 3 pm (local time).
