It is down to the final two, Sindh and Northern, who will be competing in the final of the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy.
The five-day game will be played at the headquarters of Pakistan cricket, Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium from Saturday.
Northern have been the finalist twice since the revamp of the domestic system in 2019-20, however, they lost on both occasion in 2019-20 and 2021-22 seasons.
Meanwhile, Sindh are appearing in the tournament decider for the first time under the revamped system. They will be looking forward to clinching the second title this season, after winning their maiden National T20 Cup, held earlier this year in Multan.
The five-day Quaid-e-Azam Trophy final will be streamed live on the Pakistan Cricket Board’s YouTube channel and broadcast live on PTV Sports.
Both sides will be missing some key performers in the final as Pakistan’s Test squad begins preparations for the series against England.
Northern’s captain Nauman Ali, Sindh captain Saud Shakeel, wicketkeeper-batter Sarfaraz Ahmed and spinners Abrar Ahmed and Zahid Mehmood would all be engaged as members of the Test squad.
Both captains have meanwhile expressed their desire to lift the trophy at the headquarters of PCB.
“The players are focused on the final, they have taken one game at a time in the tournament and are looking forward to playing the same brand of cricket in the final,” said Khurram Manzoor. “We have played quality cricket throughout the tournament, and we are looking to repeat the same to get a positive result in the big game.”
“Our team have completely dominated the tournament from the start and we are looking to repeat the same performance to lift the trophy,” said Umar Amin. “We have kept things very simple, we will try to keep it that way in the final as well to get a positive outcome from the big game.
“I am fond of Mohammad Huraira’s temperament and thinking when he is batting. This is a great sign for the team and for Huraira as well that at this age he is scoring runs and that too since last year.”
