Match Preview

After starting their respective campaign with wins, Islamabad United and defending champions Karachi Kings will lock horns in the sixth match of the tournament. Both the teams have had confident starts and would want to capitalize on the momentum which they have got from their opening match and power it to further few wins. But, Karachi would have a slight advantage of playing the match at their home ground.

In the first match, Karachi defeated Quetta Gladiators by seven wickets comfortably. Karachi looked like a far more superior team on that occasion against Quetta and was too good for their opposition. However, Islamabad’s first win in the tournament didn’t come that easily as they had to fight hard and depend on the late heroics of Lewis Gregory to push them to a win.

Weather Report & Pitch Condition

The skies are expected to be clear in the late evening with a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius and the humidity will be 57 percent. There is no chance of precipitation for this match.

As seen in the PSL game between Lahore Qalandars and Quetta Gladiators, the pitch did play well with the ball skidding on nicely to the bat. While the pacers got the ball to move around, the batsmen enjoyed the conditions, with Chris Gayle and Fakhar Zaman going big.
