Key Players to Watch
David Warner (KAR): Former SRH captain making his PSL debut. Powerplay dominance and T20 league experience make him the most dangerous batter in this contest.
Rilee Rossouw (QUE): South African left-hander with a proven record across T20 leagues worldwide. His middle overs power hitting could be the difference maker.
Abrar Ahmed (QUE): Mystery leg spinner who troubled international batters at the T20 World Cup. Could be a handful under lights at Lahore.
Moeen Ali (KAR): English all rounder adding batting depth and off spin versatility in the middle overs.
