News

In the 26th match of the ongoing riveting Pakistan Super League, Karachi Kings and Lahore Qalandars will be clashing with each other on Saturday at National Stadium Karachi. 

Lahore Qalandars find themselves in a precarious position, after suffering six consecutive defeats. They have been eliminated from the tournament. Despite boasting a star-studded lineup comprising the likes Shaheen Afridi, Fakhar Zaman, Shai Hope and Shahibzada Farhan, defending champions Lahore Qalandars have failed to deliver the desired results.

Their inability to capitalize on crucial moments and a lack of performance have contributed to their downfall. Nevertheless, with pride at stake, Lahore Qalandars will be eager to salvage some dignity with a spirited performance in their remaining matches. They will come into this game on the back of their win in their last match, which was also their first victory of the tournament. 

Karachi Kings, on the other hand, are currently placed on the fifth in the points table, as they will eye a victory to solidify their position in the playoffs race. Karachi Kings have shown glimpses of brilliance, but they haven’t been able to live up to the expectations. They played their last game against Islamabad United that they lost by 5 wickets.

Lahore Qalandars Probable XI: Fakhar Zaman, Sahibzada Farhan, Rassie van der Dussen, Shai Hope (wk), Sikandar Raza, Ahsan Bhatti, David Wiese, Jahandad Khan, Shaheen Afridi (c), Tayyab Abbas, Zaman Khan

Karachi Kings Probable XI: Shan Masood (c), Tim Seifert (wk), James Vince, Shoaib Malik, Kieron Pollard, Irfan Khan, Mohammad Nawaz, Hasan Ali, Zahid Mahmood, Mir Hamza, Blessing Muzarabani
