PZ vs KK Team Previews

Peshawar Zalmi

Peshawar Zalmi head into their crucial clash against Karachi Kings riding high on a dominant seven-wicket win over Multan Sultans. With their playoff hopes still alive, Zalmi will be looking to maintain momentum and consistency as the PSL group stage nears its conclusion.

In their previous outing, Zalmi's bowlers were clinical, skittling the Sultans for just 108. Ahmed Daniyal led the attack with 3 for 17, ably supported by Maaz Sadaqat (2 for 12), as all six bowlers chipped in. The chase was brisk and assured, led by Saim Ayub’s explosive 49 and Max Bryant’s unbeaten 38, helping Zalmi cruise home with seven overs to spare.

As they prepare to face the Kings, Zalmi will be buoyed by the form of their young bowling unit and the aggression of their top order. However, captain Babar Azam will be keen to find form with the bat, having endured another failure. With a playoff berth on the line, Zalmi can’t afford a slip-up—and Karachi will be no pushover.

Peshawar Zalmi Expected Playing 11

Saim Ayub, Mitchell Owen, Babar Azam (c), Max Bryant, Mohammad Haris (wk), Hussain Talat, Maaz Sadaqat, Luke Wood, Alzarri Joseph, Ahmed Daniyal, Ali Raza.

Karachi Kings

After pulling off a thrilling final-over win against Lahore Qalandars, the Karachi Kings will approach their upcoming clash against Peshawar Zalmi with confidence and momentum. In a rain-reduced 15-over contest, it was Irfan Khan’s sensational unbeaten 48 off 21 balls that turned the tide, powering Kings to a dramatic chase of 168 in Lahore.

The Kings' top order had struggled under pressure, but timely power-hitting from David Warner and Tim Seifert helped keep them in the hunt. The real turnaround, however, came in the death overs, where Irfan, ably supported by Mohammad Nabi, unleashed a brutal assault on Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf. Their finish highlighted the Kings’ depth and composure under pressure.

With the ball, Abbas Afridi (4 for 27) and Mir Hamza were standouts, triggering a Qalandars collapse that kept the target within reach. As they face a resurgent Peshawar Zalmi, Karachi will aim to tighten their bowling in the powerplay and avoid another top-order wobble. A win here could all but seal their place in the playoffs.

Karachi Kings Expected Playing 11

David Warner (c), Tim Seifert (wk), James Vince, Saad Baig, Irfan Khan, Khushdil Shah, Mohammad Nabi, Hasan Ali, Aamer Jamal, Mir Hamza, Abbas Afridi.
