KARACHI: Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Wasim Khan is excited about the Pakistan Super League's most-anticipated final between Karachi and Lahore.

Speaking to media in Karachi on Monday, Wasim said Tuesday's game will be magnificent as arch-rivals, Karachi Kings and Lahore Qalandars, come face-to-face in the finale.
