KRK vs PSZ Live Prediction

2026-04-09 21:21:54

Karachi Kings Score Over 55.5 in 6 Overs @ 1.85 (Parimatch)

The Kings have a huge task in hand of chasing down a score of 247 runs, with the required run rate right from the start at 12.5 runs per over. They need to get off the blocks quickly on a good flat wicket. We predict the Kings to score at 10 runs per over in the first 6 and their score to be over 55 runs in 6 overs.

2026-04-09 20:07:11

Peshawar Zalmi Score Over 115.5 in 12 Overs @ 1.85 (1XBET)

Peshawar Zalmi are absolutely blazing, powering to 82/1 after 8 overs. Kusal Mendis is in stunning form on 48 off just 25 balls with three sixes, while Babar Azam is equally destructive on 32 off 21 balls. The unbroken partnership has put on 82 together and the last five overs have produced a massive 56 runs without loss. We are backing Peshawar Zalmi to go past 115.5 in 12 overs.

2026-04-09 19:11:45

Peshawar Zalmi Score Over 47.5 in 6 Overs @ 1.85 (1XBET)

Peshawar Zalmi have been scoring at a good rate in the powerplay overs this season. The afternoon game was a low scoring one where the surface got better for batting as the game progressed. Expect a fast start from Zalmi early on in their innings and we predict their score to be over 47 runs in 6 overs.

Host Karachi Kings will be looking to maintain unbeaten run when they face Peshawar Zalmi in the 17th match of the Pakistan Super League 2026 played at National Stadium in Karachi on Thursday.

With three wins on the bounce, Kings are currently placed at second position in the league table. Captain David Warner will be hoping that the side maintain their standards with bat and ball in this fixture.

On the other hand, Peshawar Zalmi managed to register a hard-fought win over Hyderabad Kingsmen, courtesy decent contributions from Babar Azam, Iftikhar Ahmed and Sufyan Muqeem.

Both teams have faced off 21 times in the history of the competition where the Peshawar Zalmi have an edge with 15 wins compared to Karachi King’s six victories.
