\nLahore Qalandars skipper Sohail Akhtar has said that his team would carry the momentum of the first phase into the playoffs.
\n\u201cMomentum is very important for a team\u2019s success. I am confident that we will take our momentum into the playoffs,\u201d Sohail said at a virtual news conference.
\n\u201cOur players are well gelled. A couple of new players have come in, but we have got time and are playing practice games. Hopefully, we will keep this momentum in coming matches,\u201d the skipper said.
\nAbout hard-hitting Australian batsman Ben Dunk, Sohail said that he would keep living up to the expectations. \u201cDunk is performing the role he has been given. The rest of the players are also living up to the billing,\u201d Sohail said.
\n\u201cWe have a good combination and the plus point is that our batsmen and bowlers are in full form,\u201d he said.
\nLahore Qalandars, who finished third at the points table, will lock horns with Peshawar Zalmi, who finished fourth, in what could be a fascinating eliminator.

\n\u201cWe have seen Peshawar Zalmi\u2019s strength and are planning according to that. We will try to set a combination accordingly,\u201d said the 34-year-old allrounder.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
