Defending champions Islamabad started this season just how they finished the last, and in some stupendous fashion. Their net run rate is also impressive, indicating how dominant they have been. Karachi Kings have a chance to go level on points with their visitors, but recent history suggests this is a fixture that hasn’t gone as per their plans. I am backing Islamabad United to win here.
- Karachi lost their 8 recent matches against Islamabad.
- Karachi Kings lost 5 of their 6 matches against Islamabad United at this venue.
- Islamabad won their last 8 matches played in Karachi.
- Islamabad won 10 of their last 11 completed matches in the PSL.
Head to Head
The Karachi Kings and Islamabad United have played each other in 22 matches so far. Of these, there have been just six wins for the Kings, while United won 16.
The dominance is even more prominent in recent fixtures, with Islamabad winning 12 of the last 14 games between these sides. That includes the last eight in a row and two last season – by seven wickets in Karachi and by five wickets in Rawalpindi.
Karachi Kings Form
Karachi Kings are third in the points tally with four points from three matches (W2, L1). They played all three matches at this venue, with their two wins over Multan and Quetta sandwiched by a 65-run loss to Lahore Qalandars.
James Vince (171 runs, SR 185.86) has been in cracking form for the Kings with a hundred, fifty, and even a duck. Khushdil Shah is the only other batter to get a fifty.
Mohammad Nabi (4-1-7-2) was the star with the ball in their latest win, but otherwise it’s Hasan Ali (eight wickets, ER 8.25) who has been roaring for the Kings.
Karachi Kings Team News
Shan Masood could be drafted in place of Mohammad Riazullah, and there could be a chance for Ben McDermott to get a game in place of Tim Seifert.
Islamabad United Form
Islamabad are top of the standings with three wins out of three, which also gave them a positive run rate of 2.947. Their victory margins are a testimony to that – eight wickets, 102 runs, and 47 runs.
Sahibzada Farhan (184 runs, SR 165.76) has been the standout batter, giving them strong starts. Colin Munro (147) has given him good support, but Islamabad will be worried if their strong starts are denying a chance for the rest to contribute.
The story of the season for Islamabad has to be Jason Holder (nine wickets, ER 7.10) with support from the usual suspects Shadab Khan and Imad Wasim (six wickets each).
Islamabad United Team News
Andries Gous has scored just 13 runs in three matches, and with Matthew Short and Rassie van der Dussen on the bench, he could be feeling the heat.
