Pakistan Super League season 8 action will continue tonight as the Karachi Kings welcome Quetta Gladiators in their third match of the season.
Both the Kings and the Gladiators are winless thus far in this year’s PSL and will look to break their ducks in order to take steps towards the knockout phases of the competition.
Here is all you need to know ahead of the important fixture.
Karachi Kings vs Quetta Gladiators head-to-head:
Quetta leads their head-to-head rivalry 9 games to 5.
Kings’ last win over tonight’s opponents came way back on 19th June 2021.
When and where will the game take place?
The two teams will face each other at National Bank Cricket Arena, Kings’ home ground, at 7:00 PM.
Players to watch during Karachi Kings vs Quetta Gladiators:
Will Smead is likely to break into Quetta’s team for the game after missing out on their opening fixture and could play a key role in either setting or chasing a big score. The Gladiators should also give Wanindu Hasaranga a start after he too missed their opening game.
Nuwan Thushara and Naseem Shah could be crucial for the visitors with the ball.
For Kings, Sharjeel Khan and Haider Ali will be important in providing quick runs. Tabraiz Shamsi should finally get a callup as well to bolster an attack that has leaked runs in both of their games.
Form:
Karachi Kings is on a two-game losing streak at this year’s competition.
They were beaten by Peshawar Zalmi in the opener before Islamabad United eased past them in the second match.
This coupled with their 9 losses from last season means they are desperate for a positive result.
Quetta is also winless this year, having lost their only game thus far to Multan Sultans by 9 wickets. With just 4 wins in 11 matches going back to last year, they are just as desperate to kickstart their campaign which should make for an entertaining contest for the neturals.
