---|---|
Date | 14th February 2023 |
Time | 7:00 PM Local Time, 1.30 PM GMT, 6:30 PM IST |
Venue | National Stadium, Karachi |
Karachi Kings will be eyeing a better performance in the PSL 2023 after a miserable show in the last season where they could only manage one win in 10 games. They have plenty of experience in their squad, with players like Shoaib Malik, James Vince, Matthew Wade, Mohammad Amir among others.
Meanwhile, Peshawar Zalmi reached playoffs last year but lost to Islamabad United in the Eliminator. This year, they have a squad that can win them the elite PSL title. Players like Babar Azam, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Rovman Powell, Wahab Riaz make them a top title contender.
The wickets should be on the drier side. The pitch won’t have much pace and bowlers who use a lot of cutters will be successful. Spinners are also a big threat.
The weather will be sunny. The temperature will hover between 27 and 14 degrees.

Babar Azam will be a key man for Peshawar Zalmi. The Pakistan skipper is the best batter in the country and Zalmi's run in the tournament will be decided by Babar Azam's form.
Bhanuka Rajapaksa is another great pick from the Zalmi team. The destructive Sri Lanka batter can turn the game on his head.
Wahab Riaz with all his experience will be handy for Peshawar. His ability to reverse the ball will be vital on the rough Pakistan pitches.
Shoaib Malik will be an important player for Karachi Kings. Coming in the middle order, Malik will have to bind the innings together and help his side to a good score. He is also a very handy bowler in these conditions.
Andrew Tye is another great player to have in the team. His variations with the ball won't be easy to pick for the batters, allowing him to fetch a lot of wickets.
