Analysis:
Among the wicketkeepers, both Mohammad Rizwan and Kamran Akmal are obvious selections having scored 470 and 247 runs respectively in the tournament. They will also be good choices for captain/vice-captain for the finale. Meanwhile, it will be significant to add some in-form players like Sohaib Maqsood, Khushdil Shah, Hazratullah Zazai, Jonathan Wells and Shoaib Malik who are coming on the back of crucial knocks in the play-offs.
Sohail Tanvir was the star performer in qualifier match with 12* and 3/17 to his name and would want to take the momentum into the finals. Among the bowlers, Wahab Riaz and Imran Tahir will be the players to watch out for as they bring a lot of experience with them which will be crucial in a big game like this. Shanawaz Dhani is the leading wicket-taker of the tournament with 20 scalps and could prove to be the game-changer in the final showdown.
