LQ vs KK Team Previews
Lahore Qalandars
The Lahore Qalandars have played 3 matches this season and have lost each of them. As a result, the team is sitting 5th on the points table. While these are still early days in the tournament, they will look to get back to winning ways in this match.
Rassie van der Dussen and Sahibzada Farhan have batted well for the Qalandars, scoring 2 half-centuries each. However, they haven’t received much support from the other end. Fakhar Zaman did play a good knock in the last match, scoring 41 runs, and will look to keep up the momentum.
The middle order, consisting of Sikandar Raza, Carlos Brathwaite, Jahandad Khan, and Abdullah Shafique will need to be more consistent henceforth. Despite having a strong seam attack, the Qalandars have failed to capitalize.
Zaman Khan has picked up 4 wickets, while Shaheen Shah Afridi and Haris Rauf have picked up 3 and 1 wicket respectively. The spin attack is a bit weak with Sikandar Raza and George Linde being the only two options.
Lahore Qalandars Playing 11
Fakhar Zaman, Sahibzada Farhan, Rassie van der Dussen, Shai Hope, Sikandar Raza, George Linde, Ahsan Bhatti, Jahandad Khan, Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf, Zaman Khan.
Karachi Kings
After losing the opening game to Multan Sultans, the Karachi Kings came back strongly in the second match to defeat Peshawar Zalmi by 7 wickets on Wednesday.
Shan Masood and Muhammad Akhlaq gave the team a brisk start in the last match, putting up 20 runs in just 2 overs. The team will expect them to do the same in this game. The Karachi Kings’ biggest strength lies in its middle order. James Vince, Shoaib Malik, and Kieron Pollard were all in excellent form as they helped the team post a match-winning total.
There are also some quality all-rounders playing lower down the order, including Daniel Sams, Irfan Khan, and Mohammad Nawaz, who add depth to the batting. The seamers have bowled well, with Daniel Sams, Mir Hamza, and Nawaz picking up 10 wickets between them.
Tabraiz Shamsi is a quality spinner on the team but has yet to pick up a wicket.

Pitch and Conditions
The Gaddafi Stadium is a high-scoring venue and has already hosted some high-scoring encounters. The average first-inning score here is around 180, but the team batting first will aim to score over 200 runs to give the bowlers a fair chance. There is some movement for the quicker bowlers when the ball is new, but the pitch gets easier to bat as the match progresses.
The weather will be clear with temperatures of below 15 degrees.
LQ vs KK Betting Tips
Looking at the way both teams have performed so far, we feel that the Karachi Kings have a good chance of winning. They have a well-balanced bowling attack and also a strong batting line-up.
Bet on the Karachi Kings to win.
Bonus Cricket Bets
The Karachi Kings have won the toss in both their matches so far and there are good chances that they will win once again. Lady luck could continue to shine on them!
Rassie van der Dussen has been in excellent form of late and has scored 3 half-centuries in his past 4 outings, including 2 in this tournament. With the batting around him not being the strongest, he can once again be the top batsman for Lahore.
Mir Hamza bowled an excellent spell in the last match, picking up 3 wickets for just 28 runs. Hamza is a rising star of the PSL and has picked up 17 wickets in his career at a strike rate of 16.17. Seeing his good form, we can expect him to bowl a good spell.
Only 1 of the 4 matches played on this ground this season has seen 13 or more wickets fall. It is therefore unlikely that we will see many wickets in this match.
