After crushing Balochistan by nine wickets in their last match, Central Punjab will be keen to replicate the same performance when they clash with Southern Punjab in their next fixture. The Southern Punjab team is coming into this game on the back of a 73-run defeat at the hands of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Their campaign is as good as over, as they have only won one of their seven matches so far.
