There is a lot of excitement around the Karachi Kings this season. They have added some good players, including David Warner, to their roster and are expected to mount more of a challenge. The Multan Sultans are a colorful side led by Mohammad Rizwan. It will be very interesting to see if he is able to change his game according to the demands of the modern game.

There are no injuries to report ahead of the first match for both teams
The weather is expected to quite hot in Karachi and there is no chance of rain. The conditions at the National Stadium in Karachi are batting friendly throughout the match but tend to really favor the team batting second. Dew is a massive factor at this venue. 74% of the matches played here have been won by the chasing side! That is a massive factor to consider.
There are some great options to choose from in this category. Mohammad Rizwan is brilliant during the PSL and is an automatic selection. We also rate Tim Seifert very highly and Johnson Charles is the kind of batter that could dominate on the flat Pakistani wickets.
David Warner and Kane Williamson are two of the tried and trusted names. They are going to be very highly owned so you would be taking a big risk by not having them. Shai Hope is the other class batter available that we think you should pick. He has transformed himself into a power hitter that can make a big impact.
Ifitikhar Ahmed is one of the best six-hitters of Pakistan and is also a regular bowler. The same is true for Khushdil Shah. While their success at the international level has been limited, they make for great PSL picks.
Hasan Ali and Usama Mir were among the highest wicket-takers of the previous season. They will certainly get the opportunity to lead the bowling attack this season as well. To begin with, we like sticking with the tried and trusted names.
Kane Williamson is an underrated white ball player. He can score quickly and is very consistent. An excellent player of spin as well.
Our pick for vice-captain is a bit of a risk because we don't know for sure where he bats. If Shai Hope ends up batting in the top-3, as he ideally should, he could be the impact player we are looking for. It is worth taking a risk and picking him.
The nature of the pitch means runs aplenty will be scored. You may have more freedom with your choice of batters because most batters may come to the party, but the local Pakistani players could be worth picking in these conditions.
The pacers may be most effective with the new ball. When thinking about your bowlers, think about which bowlers may offer the most value with the new ball.
