Karachi Kings
Lahore Qalandars
Two of the bottom-most teams in the Pakistan Super League will collide on Friday at the National Stadium Karachi. Karachi Kings will host the dwindling Lahore Qalandars on Friday. In the first meeting between both teams, Karachi Kings came out as the winners and they will be hoping to get the same result on Friday.
Karachi Kings currently stand at the 5th spot in the league with 2 wins and a net run rate of -0.551. Their chances of reaching the playoffs are very bleak and the team is in desperate need of a win.
Lahore Qalandars have lost all the hopes in the league and they have not yet scored a single win. Even if they win the Friday fixture, they wonβt be able to reach the playoff stage.
Sahibzada Farhan has scored an average of 39.6 runs in the last 6 fixtures. Farhanβs scores from the last 6 innings are 31, 15, 72, 2, 62, and 57.
The betting tip is...
Sahibzada Farhan to score 35.5 runs.

Karachi KingsLahore QalandarsKarachi Kings started their campaign for PSL 2024 with a loss but nobody was sure that their performance would be a disappointment to watch.
Their bowling unit has been a disaster and hence the batters are unable to win matches on their own. Kieron Pollard is their leading scorer with 196 runs in 5 matches at an average of 98. Shoaib Malik is following him with 177 runs in 6 matches but his average stands below par at 29.50.
On the bowling front, Hasan Ali is their leading wicket-taker with 9 wickets in 6 matches at an economy of 9.09. Mir Hamza is following him with 6 wickets in 5 matches at an economy of 8.72.
Kieron Pollard is scheduled to join the team after missing out on the last 2 fixtures. However, it is not yet confirmed that he will be part of the playing XI.
Predicted Lineup: Shan Masood (c), Tim Seifert (wk), James Vince, Shoaib Malik, Leus du Plooy, Mohammad Nawaz, Irfan Khan, Hasan Ali, Zahid Mahmood, Mir Hamza, Blessing Muzarabani
Before the start of PSL 2024, everyone had high hopes for the defending champions. However, as they started losing fixtures, the team turned out to be an embarrassment to watch. They have earned a single point in the league as of now and that too because of a fixture that got abandoned due to rains.
Their batting unit has Rassie van der Dussen who has amassed 300 runs in 6 matches at an average of 75. Sahibzada Farhan has also contributed with 239 runs in 6 matches at an average of 47.80.
Skipper Shaheen Afridi is their leading wicket-taker with 9 wickets in 6 matches but he has been expensive with an economy of 10.05. Zaman Khan has also contributed with 6 wickets in 6 matches and he has also been an expensive bowler who has displayed an economy of 12.55.
Shaheen Afridi, Rassie van der Dussen, and Sahibzada Farhan are the key players in the team.
Predicted Lineup: Shaheen Afridi (c), Fakhar Zaman, Sahibzada Farhan (wk), Rassie van der Dussen, Kamran Ghulam, Sikandar Raza, George Linde, Carlos Brathwaite, Jahandad Khan, Salman Fayyaz, Zaman Khan
Lahore Qalandars have a good batting lineup but their bowlers have been expensive. Due to the same reason, Qalandarsβ batters struggle to chase or even if they score a big number, the opposition completes the chase.
Karachi Kings have a strong bowling lineup that can keep the run rate of the opposition in control. We predict a win for the Karachi Kings on Friday.
