KAR vs PES T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, PSL 2024
Karachi Kings and Peshawar Zalmi go head to head in Match 6 of the 2024 Pakistan Super League in Lahore on Wednesday afternoon. The Kings lost their opener of this season by 55 runs with Zalmi also beaten, by Quetta Gladiators by 16 runs. Read on as we preview this fixture. The game begins at the Gaddafi Stadium at 14:00 local time on February 21st.
Although Karachi Kings dismissed the dangerous Mohammad Rizwan in the third over on Sunday, they struggled to keep up with Multan Sultans for the rest of the game with either bat or ball. But they have a strong squad and they could well get their first win of the tournament in this match.
Peshawar Zalmi conceded 206/5 against Quetta Gladiators and made a good go of chasing the target of 207 down but in the end could not quite achieve it. However, this is likely to be another tough fixture against a strong Karachi Kings XI.

Karachi Kings Team News & Playing 11
KAR Team News
Four players made ducks for Karachi Kings in their opening game but we are not expecting to see wholesale changes for this game against Peshawar Zalmi. No injuries have been announced as yet so we anticipate that Shan Masood will hand over the same teamsheet for this match.
KAR Key Players
- Shan Masood - The opening batter captain looked well set in Lahore on 30 runs from 31 balls before he was dismissed in the opening game.
- Shoaib Malik - The 42 year old was the only batter for Karachi Kings to get on top of the Multan Sultans bowlers on Sunday and we expect him to attempt the same in this match.
- Mir Hamza - The 31 year old left-arm bowler will take the new ball against Peshawar Zalmi and he used it well in the game against Multan Sultans.
- Daniel Sams - The tall Australian pace bowler is a fine T20 cricketer who can also contribute with the bat. He dismissed Dawid Malan on Sunday.
KAR Team Form
Karachi Kings are the narrow favourites with the bookies and they can be backed at 1.72. Peshawar Zalmi are not far behind on 1.95 to win the match.
Karachi Kings Predicted Playing 11
Shan Masood (c), James Vince, Saad Baig (wk), Shoaib Malik, Mohammad Nawaz, Kieron Pollard, Daniel Sams, Hasan Ali, Mir Hamza, Tabraiz Shamsi, Mohammad Amir Khan
Peshawar Zalmi Team News & Playing 11
PES Team News
We can expect to see the same line-up for Peshawar Zalmi on Wednesday although members of the bowling attack could well be placed on notice that if they concede a lot of runs again then their places will be under threat! The same XI are all available for this match of PSL 2024.
PES Key Players
- Saim Ayub - The young left-hander looked ready for another PSL half-century before being run out after another strong return of 42 runs from 26 balls in Match 2.
- Babar Azam - With eight boundaries on Sunday, the captain already looks set to equal or better his impressive returns from last year’s PSL.
- Salman Irshad - the 28 year old quick bowler did his damage with the ball in the final stages against Quetta Gladiators with the wickets of Jason Roy, Sherfane Rutherford and Mohammad Wasim.
- Luke Wood - The left-arm English pace bowler leaked runs at a rate of 9.75 runs per over on the weekend but he is always a wicket taking threat as seen with the dismissal of Saud Shakeel.
PES Team Form
Peshawar Zalmi showed they have plenty of batting power in their opening game but they will need to bowl tighter in this match.
Peshawar Zalmi Predicted Playing 11
Saim Ayub, Babar Azam (c), Mohammad Haris (wk), Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Rovman Powell, Dan Mousley, Asif Ali, Aamer Jamal, Salman Irshad, Luke Wood, Mohammad Zeeshan

🏆 Karachi Kings vs Peshawar Zalmi Prediction
We do not think it will be long before both these teams have recorded wins in this year’s PSL but only one of them can come away with the victory on Wednesday. Peshawar Zalmi have Babar Azam and Saim Ayub at the top of their order but across the rest of their side they do not look to have the edge on the Kings. Our prediction is for a tight fixture but with Karachi Kings getting the win.
