The Karachi Kings will hope to continue on their brilliant start to PSL 10 as they take on the Lahore Qalandars. Both teams have won one match each but the Lahore Qalandars have played an extra match. It appears as if the Karachi Kings have a stronger batting lineup and their contest with the fearsome Lahore Qalandars bowling is going to be something to watch.

There are no injuries to report from either squad
The National Stadium at Karachi offers one of the best setups for batters to dominate. Not only do they have an excellent pitch to bat on but they also have very small boundaries and a blazingly fast outfield to take advantage of. We saw nearly 500 runs scored in the previous match here and it would be common sense to expect another match in which the batters make merry.
There is no threat of rain and we should have an uninterrupted match to enjoy.
Three excellent overseas players to choose from in this category. Sam Billings, Tim Seifert, and Kusal Perera. The first two are sure starters so having them in the lineup is an easy choice to make.
Looking at the conditions, this is where you want to build the bulk of your team from. David Warner, Fakhar Zaman, Daryl Mitchell, James Vince, Abdullah Shafique, Shan Masood, and maybe Mohammad Naeem (if you are keen to be a bit different) are all excellent options. Having them all in the lineup is perhaps not a bad strategy either.
Sikandar Raza and Khushdil Shah made a decent impact in the previous match but someone like Rishad Hossain is also a good player to look at. Hossain will be lower owned but could make a big impact with his leg spin.
Even though there are excellent bowling options like Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf, Abbas Afridi, and Adam Milne, we are going to be very light on the bowlers. It is a risk but something that you may want to consider for the head-to-head contests. For the Mega Contests, you can make a better balanced lineup for a bit more safety to at least recover your contest entry.
James Vince scored an absolutely breathtaking century in the previous match. He is the kind of player that can go on a scoring spree when in good form. We are going to pick him as captain for this match.
Tim Seifert has quietly become one of the most dangerous batters in T20 cricket off late. He bats with complete freedom and can score a ton of runs very quickly.
A flat batting surface is going to be perfect for the batters to dominate this match once more. Pick the in-form batters and perhaps go all in on the batting if you are taking part in a head-to-head contest. For the Mega contests, you can pick more bowlers as that will spread your risk and give you a better chance to finish in the winners category.
