Emaan vs. Taqwa
11PM
Let's call it a rematch. Taqwa versus Emaan in the semi-final just last year. And just like last year, Emaan qualifies for the playoffs on a win during the last game of the season.
But Emaan is hoping for a different fate this year. They've beaten or tied Taqwa in every game during the regular season, and certainly seem better prepared for the match-up this year.
Hisham Ali and Hassan Badreddine have given Emaan a lot of strength down the middle, allowing them to be more than just a team of runners.
Taqwa's individual accomplishments were well-noted. Four of the the top five scorers were from Taqwa with Shaukat Khan edging out teammate Sami Choudhry for the scoring title.
There's another aspect to this matchup: Emaan is the best defensive team in the league, allowing the fewest goals against while Taqwa is the best offensive team, scoring the most goals this season.
Who would you bet on? The best offense or the best defense?
Player to Watch: Sufyaan Shaikh has been heating up lately and seems like the perfect playoff type player with his combination of speed, grit and tenacity.
Who's Hot: Literally all of Taqwa. But it's a new season now, and scoring titles aren't worth much anymore.
