8pm A Team vs Legend Killers
This should be a slobber knocker battle to start the final night. These teams both play through the same strength, a dominant inside presence. The Legend Killers will come at you with Humair, maybe the best passing big in Retro and Talha Hashmi, who has been battling injuries this season but has been unstoppable when he’s on the floor. A Team will counter with Dev and Amrit, we know what Dev brings to the table, a double double machine with the softest touch around the rim in the league. Amrit is a great stretch four who probably has not even found his touch in Retro. It will probably come down to the other pieces here. A Team has the edge there. Umair and Isa have had good seasons while Fahad and Zia on the other side give up a little height playing against them. Legend Killers have the chemistry advantage but A Team has a little more talent. We should get a back and forth battle here.

9pm Bricklayers vs Knights
This is a big matchup for playoff positioning and a final MVP case for both Umer and Ali. Both teams have dropped a couple of games in a row and want to get back into the winning mindset before they go into the playoffs. Knights have had attendance issues and could really use floor general Amged back to help take some pressure off Mohsin and Ali while Bricklayers have let the last two games fall out of their hands. Both these teams will be aggressive and push the ball down the floor quickly when they can. The surrounding pieces favor Bricklayers where the Knights cannot match Idrees’ height inside and the depth of their bench with Ali Mian and Hyder or Waqar. This game should see Bricklayers gaining control going into the postseason.

10pm Panthers vs Primetime
GAME OF THE YEAR
This game has all the hallmarks of being the premiere game of the Retro season and it was saved for last. We have so many storylines, the MVP battle of Imran vs Muzz, winner clinches first place for the season, and can Panthers spoil Primetimes perfect season the way A Team did to them last week. This should be incredibly entertaining with the two squads who have shown all season they operate as teams that any week have different players who can go off and be the reason they win. The big two of Panthers are Muzz and Moe who are natural scorers and underrated passers who like to get their teammates involved. Primetime will counter with the Ladak boys, Imraan and Ali. They do most of their damage attacking the rim and will put pressure on guys like Hassib and Abdullah to protect the rim. If guys like Aadil can shoot like they did last week then Primetime should pull it out but Panthers have shown all season they are a team that fights and that there is no lead they cannot come back from if they go down early. Expect a classic that comes down to the final minutes. We hear rumors of a live stream for this one on instagram, follow CBLRETRO to stay updated.
