Lahore Qalandars take on Quetta Gladiators in the Pakistan Super League.
The game is set for Sunday, February 13. The first ball will be bowled at 7:30pm local time (2:30pm GMT).
The game will be held at the National Stadium in Karachi.
Lahore Qalandars are leading the pursuit of Multan Sultans with four wins from six games
They flexed their title credentials with a 52-run thrashing of Sultans, an indication they could yet run Mohammad Rizwan's side close come the knock-out stage.
Quetta Gladiators remain in the playoff hunt thanks to victory over Islamabad United.
Sarfaraz Ahmed's 32-ball fifty completed a chase of 200 with two balls remaining and cementing fourth place in the table.
In the first meeting between these sides, Gladiators chased down 205 to win thanks to Jason Roy's stunning 116 from 57 balls.

Fakhar Zaman is enjoying a golden run with the bat.
Having started with a century against Karachi Kings, he'd three fifties in the last four innings including a 70 in the first meeting with Gladiators.
The loss of Mohammad Nawaz means it is down to Naseem Shah and James Faulkner to lead the Gladiators attack.
Shah took one of only two five-wicket hauls during this season's competition against Kings.
Faulkner, meanwhile, has grabbed six wickets in as many games but at an economy rate of 9.80.
