Karachi Kings:
Imad Wasim’s Karachi have qualified for the playoffs on very slim margins. The team has had a poor second leg of PSL 2021. UAE has just not been kind to them.

They managed five wins in the league stage at a net run rate of -0.115.

HEAD-TO-HEAD
Karachi Kings and Peshawar Zalmi have faced each other 14 times in PSL. Kings have won 5 matches and Zalmi have emerged victorious on 9 occasions.
PREDICTION:
Sheikh Zayed Stadium presents a dry pitch, which means spinners and batsmen will be looking forward to the contest. The first innings average score on the pitch is 169 runs. It has come to the wire for both sides. However, they have been the best when their backs were against the wall. Peshawar Zalmi and Karachi Kings will make an interesting draw but if one has to choose one, Zalmis are the one to go with.
