Form Guide
Kings and Sultans enter the competition with varying momentum in their favor. The openers have only lost one in their last five matches, while Sultans have won just two.
Also, the 2021 champions are fresh from a four-wicket defeat against Islamabad United, which prevented them from finishing in the top two.
On the other hand, the Kingsmen had a miraculous entry into the playoffs as they boosted their net run rate to beat defending champions Lahore Qalandars by 108 runs against fellow debutants Rawalpindis.
