Pakistan Super League 2022, Karachi Kings vs Peshawar Zalmi: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast and Live Streaming Details
The Karachi Kings will lock horns against Peshawar Zalmi in the 11th match of the ongoing Pakistan Super League (PSL). Both teams are currently struggling and occupy the last two spots in the points table.
The Babar Azam-led Karachi Kings have lost all three of their matches so far. Their problem has clearly been their batting. The Kings have registered scores of 124, 113, and 170 while batting first in all their games so far. Though they managed to reach 170 in their previous encounter, the Lahore Qalandars easily chased down the target.
Babar Azam came into this tournament high on confidence with regards to the captaincy but is under pressure now with results not going his way. The Karachi Kings will have to turn things around soon before time runs out for them.
Things are not too cozy for Peshawar Zalmi either. They are fifth in the points table with only a win from three matches. After chasing down 191 against the Quetta Gladiators to start their campaign in style, the Zalmi side has gone down to Islamabad United and Lahore Qalandars rather meekly.
Their bowlers haven’t been effective at all, picking up only five wickets in their last two encounters while conceding a massive 371 (199/4 vs LQ and 172/1 in 15.5 overs vs ISU) in 35.5 overs. This is a good chance for them to avoid a hat-trick of losses with Karachi Kings losing three matches on the trot and low on confidence as well.
