The Qalandars are the only team in the six-team league who have not won the competition title since the Pakistan Super League started in 2016.
Last time Qalandars lost to Karachi Kings in the only final they played in 2020.
But the task for Qalandars is tough as they face a rampaging Sultan side that won nine of their ten first round matches while Qalandars have won seven out of 12 matches this year.
On a head-to-head in this tournament, Sultans lead Qalandars 2-1.
Qalandars were the only side to beat them in the first round but Sultans avenged that defeat by trouncing them in the qualifiers by 28 runs on Wednesday.
Sultans and Qalandars have richly entertained the fans in Karachi and Lahore with top quality T20 cricket. Sultans have played like champions from the beginning of the PSL 7 in Karachi a month ago.
Both the teams are power-packed in batting as well as in bowling.
