Injuries & Illnesses

There are no injuries to report from either squad

Pitch Report & Weather Conditions

The weather in Karachi is expected to be absolutely clear for this match. There is no threat of rain and we should not have any interruptions. The National Stadium at Karachi is an absolute graveyard for the bowlers. Runs flow at this venue and that is how you should position your fantasy team also.

KK vs QG Dream11 Top Picks

Wicketkeeper

Kusal Mendis, Fabian Allen, and Tim Seifert are all automatic picks in this category. They will be highly oiwned but are too good to ignore.

Batters

Karachi is an excellent venue for batters and so this becomes a very important category to choose from. David Warner, James Vince, and Rilee Rossouw are the overseas players that stand out. Saud Shakeel has been opening the inning so you can include him also in the lineup.

All Rounders

Faheem Ashraf and Khushdil Shah are the best all-rounders in Pakistan right now. They are likely to make an impact with both the bat and ball. Akeal Hosein is also a good option to consider.

Bowlers

The two leading fast bowlers for their respective teams, Mohammad Amir and Hasan Ali, are the two bowlers that we would recommend picking. Abrar Ahmed is also a brilliant bowler that picks wickets at regular intervals.

KK vs QG Captain and Vice-Captain Choices

Captain

Tim Seifert is one of the most destructive openers and we think picking him as the opener is a good option.

Vice-Captain

Fabian Allen is another batter than can score loads of runs in a very short amount of time. We like his as vice-captain.

KK vs QG Team Expert Advice

History has shown that batters make merry at the National Stadium in Karachi. Make sure you pack enough top order batters for your mega contests because that is where the bulk of the points are going to come. For head to head contests, you can go a bit outside the box and pick some lower owned players that can help get you an advantage.
