Islamabad United Team News & Playing 11
Their batting class resides mainly in their top three in JP Duminy, Luke Ronchi and Alex Hales. Ronchi is leading the runs charts for Islamabad and he will be expected to play a big knock in this match. The team will back Faheem Ashraf and Samit Patel to deliver the goods with the ball. The former is one of the season's most successful bowlers and he will look to provide the early breakthroughs for his side.

Karachi Kings Team News & Playing 11
While their top-order batting will rely mainly on Babar Azam, Colin Ingram and Eoin Morgan, the middle-order seems to be dependent on Ravi Bopara. Babar is amongst the leading run-getters of PSL 3 and his innings is going to be critical for the Kings. Shahid Afridi, Usman Khan and Mohammad Amir are the team's best bets when it comes to bowling. Afridi has been the most impressive of the lot and he will pose the biggest threat to Islamabad.

Islamabad United vs Karachi Kings Prediction
Both teams have done well to make it this far in the tournament and neither will want to leave it to the eliminator to decide their fate. Islamabad United are the former champions of the PSL and they played exactly like one during the league stage. They missed out on the chance of making it to the final last season and they will be looking to come out with all their guns blazing this time around. Although Karachi Kings too have been equally competitive, we feel that Islamabad due to their higher consistency rate are better placed to win this qualifier and make a direct entry to the final.
Final Verdict: Back Islamabad United to beat Karachi Kings
