TEAMS PREVIEW

Karachi Kings Preview

Sharjeel khan (105 runs) and Babar Azam (62 runs) started the match in grand fashion with a mammoth 176-run partnership and they ended with 196 runs on board. They have a very strong batting line-up with the likes of Ingram, Nabi, Christian, and Imad Wasim to follow.

Their bowlers were taken to the cleaners by the opposition as they failed to defend the massive total last night. Imad Wasim and Mohammed Nabi picked up a wicket each and gave runs at less than 8 RPO while all the other pacers went for over 10 RPO easily. Aamer Yamin`s 29-run over sucked the momentum out of the chase.

Top players to bet on:

Sharjeel Khan – Sharjeel was scintillating with the bat scoring the first century of PSL with 9 boundaries and 8 sixes in the match. He made 1055 runs off just 59 balls and will look to continue his good form in this match too.

Mohammed Nabi – Nabi had bowling figures of 4-0-26-1 when all the other bowlers where going at runs over 10 RPOO. He will be an effective all-rounder who can contribute with both bat and ball.  

Karachi Kings Predicted Playing XI:

Sharjeel Khan, Babar Azam, Joe Clarke (wk), Colin Ingram, Mohammad Nabi, Daniel Christian, Imad Wasim (c), Mohammed Illyas, Mohammad Amir, Waqas Maqsood, Arshad Iqbal

Karachi Kings Actual Playing XI:

Sharjeel Khan, Arshad Iqbal, Colin Ingram, DT Christian, Babar Azam, Mohammad Amir, Waqas Maqsood, Aamer Yamin, Joe Clarke, SI Wasim, Mohammad Nabi

Multan Sultans Preview

Mohammed Rizwan (76 runs) and Maqsood (61 runs) shared a massive 110-run partnership to kill the chase after two early wickets. They have a strong batting line-up with the likes of Rossouw, Afridi, Lynn, and Brathwaite yet to fire. James Vince scored a brilliant half-century in their previous match.

Carlos Brathwaite and Dhani picked up 2 wickets each to stall the opposition`s momentum while the duo of Usman Qadir and Sohail khan controlled the run flow effectively. Shahid Afridi went for a lot of runs last match but we expect him to make a comeback in this match.

Top players to bet on:

Mohammed Rizwan – Rizwan is in red hot form with scores of 41, 71, 76 in the 3 matches and he is enjoying a brilliant form in the T20 matches off late in all stages. We expect yet another big score from him in this match.

Carlos Brathwaite – Brathwaite has bowling figures of 4-1-20-2 in the last game with 2 crucial top order wickets. He can also be dangerous with the bat smashing massive sixes with ease.  

Multan Sultans Predicted Playing XI:

Mohammad Rizwan (c & wk), Chris Lynn, James Vince, Rilee Rossouw, Sohaib Maqsood, Khushdil Shah, Shahid Afridi, Carlos Brathwaite, Sohail Khan, Usman Qadir, Shahnawaz Dhani

Multan Sultans Actual Playing XI:

RR Rossouw, Sohail Khan, Carlos Brathwaite, Usman Qadir, Mohammad Rizwan, Shahnawaz Dhani, Chris Lynn, Khushdil Shah, James Vince, SMSK Afridi, Sohaib Maqsood
