The Pakistan One Day Cup is approaching its business ends as the tussle to qualify in the knockouts intensifies. Northern will lock horns with Southern Punjab in their final match of the league stage. Northern are out of the race for the title and currently struggle at the bottom of the points table. With only 1 victory in 9 games, Haider Ali and his troops have had a disastrous campaign. They surely look forward to a win and sign-off on a positive note. Southern Punjab too have gone through a rough campaign with only 3 wins in 9 matches. If they defeat Northern by a huge margin and in case Central Punjab loses their final league match, that’s the only way they could get through to the next stage.
