Karachi Kings Vs Islamabad United Preview- Karachi Kings will be hoping to put behind their horror run of form when they face Islamabad United. This is is a must-win game for them. Islamabad on the other hand will be hoping to get their inconsistencies out of the way.
They will want to put together a decent run of wins in what promises to be a pivotal fixture for both teams.
Karachi Kings
For a team that contains the majestic Babar Azam, the crafty Imad Wasim, death bowling expert Chris Jordan and Mohammad Amir in their ranks, it’s safe to say that their performance so far has been absolutely disastrous. They will want to improve from the showing so far.
They are the only side in the league without a win. The 2020 champions have Babar Azam performing in his usual class. But no one else to ably support him. In the bowling department, there is no one who can exude confidence. They are unable to capitalize on a winning situation, which explains why they haven’t won a single game.
Islamabad United
Islamabad has been good in patches. This is something their two crushing victories will suggest. They have been playing some good cricket. But have been unlucky in the closing stages of matches. It reflects in their two losses against Multan and Lahore. This isn’t really that bad, since both those teams are 1st and 2nd respectively.
Islamabad has a pretty balanced squad with the likes of Alex Hales, Colin Munro, Shahab Khan, and Hassan Ali and will be hoping to get back to winning ways.
The head-to-head between the two teams are pretty even-steven. They are both so similar that Islamabad has won winning three out of the five matches and Karachi has won the other couple of games. Either team can win this match due to how evenly balanced they have been so far. All it takes is a special performance on the night and stepping up at the right time.
This is a key game for both sides for different reasons. Karachi needs to get off the mark and Islamabad needs to win to stay in contention to go to the latter stages of the tournament. It is pretty difficult, but based on the current form, it would safe to say that Islamabad will emerge victorious in this one.
However, games are not won only based on the previous form and a job needs to be done. While that seems to be the case, it will be interesting to see how things develop in this upcoming fixture between these two teams. Let’s wait and watch!!

This should be a great match between two teams looking to make an impression in the current edition of the PSL. Neither team will want to lose this game and will want to take back all three points from this match. They will surely put up a great fight, though right now there seems to be only one favourite in the match, as per the fans.
