Pakistan Super League 2023, Match 2, Karachi Kings vs Peshawar Zalmi: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, and Live Streaming Details
Karachi Kings and Peshawar Zalmi are set to face off in Match No. 2 of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2023 on Tuesday, February 14. The match will take place at the National Stadium in Karachi.
The Kings have undergone a few changes in their setup ahead of the upcoming PSL. Imad Wasim, who led them to glory for the first time in 2020, is back as skipper after Babar Azam moved to the Zalmi. Shoaib Malik is also back at the Kings after spending a few seasons with the Zalmi.
Sharjeel Khan remains at the top of the order and is most likely to open alongside Australia’s Matthew Wade. James Vince had a brilliant outing in the inaugural ILT20 and his role will be important. Their bowling attack is also power-packed with the likes of Mohammad Amir and Imran Tahir in it.
The Zalmi, on the other hand, are set to take the field under new skipper Babar Azam, who replaced Wahab Riaz as captain. The 28-year-old Babar is the leading run-scorer in the history of the PSL and is also the only batter to have scored over 2000 runs in the tournament.
Mohammad Haris has shown a lot of promise and has also broken into the national team. Left-hander Saim Ayub also has loads of potential. Sherfane Rutherford and Rovman Powell add plenty of firepower to the middle-order. Their bowling attack isn’t worth undermining either.
