Karachi Kings head into this contest after losing 2 out of 2 in this PSL edition. Their latest loss came against Islamabad United. However, a much-improved batting performance was on display by the entire unit, giving signs of just how dangerous this team could be.

Since James Vince was unable to make use of his opportunity, the likes of Ben Cutting could once again feature in the starting XI. Moreover, Imran Tahir could replace James Fuller and Mir Hamza can too be back in the playing squad. The rest of the entire team could remain the same from the previous game with no injuries to be reported.
KAR Key Players
- Imad Wasim - There is no doubt in stating that the captain will have to lead from the front if the Kings are to register their first win of the campaign in Match 6. Having contributed with the ball in the last game, Wasim will need to contribute with the bat as well in the latter stages of the batting innings if called upon.
- Haider Ali - Having already scored 59 runs off 45 balls in the previous game, Ali will be required to build upon his upward trajectory in Match 6.
- Sharjeel Khan - Opening the batting innings for the Karachi Kings, Sharjeel has got off to good starts but failed to capitalize on the chances. However, in Match 6 he will look to bat his way through the 20 overs.

The Quetta Gladiators are yet to find their best-playing XI entering Match 6 of this tournament. However, with no injuries to be reported on the side yet Odean Smith could be given his first start in the 2023 edition.
QUE Key Players

- Naseem Shah - This 20-year-old Pakistani fast bowler could be the x-factor for his team if the batting order of QG is able to post a decent total on the scoreboard.
