PSL 2021 Match 11: Karachi Kings vs Lahore Qalandars| Preview, probable XIs, match prediction and live-streaming details
Karachi Kings take on Lahore Qalandars in the 11th match of the Pakistan Super League (PSL 2021) on Sunday. The highly anticipated rematch of last year’s final takes place at the National Stadium in Karachi.
Karachi Kings have won one of their two games in PSL 2021. They will face Lahore Qalandars after playing Multan Sultans on Saturday.
Their batting line-up looks settled; with players like Babar Azam, Mohammad Nabi and Daniel Christian in their ranks, the Karachi Kings are never far away from a big score.
The Kings will, however, look to put together a better bowling performance against the Qalandars after Islamabad United chased down a 196-run target with five balls to spare in their previous PSL outing.
Meanwhile, Lahore Qalandars come into this PSL game after seeing their winning run in the tournament come to an end. Sohail Akhtar’s side were handed their first defeat of the PSL 2021 season by Multan Sultans, as they went down by seven wickets.
The Qalandars put up just 157 runs on the board, with only Mohammad Hafeez (60) coming up with a useful contribution. The below-par score was easily chased down by Multan Sultans, with Mohammad Rizwan’s sizzling 76 taking the team home with more than three overs to spare.
Lahore Qalandars will look to bounce back against the Karachi Kings and get back to winning ways in the PSL, which could make for an enticing clash.
