Karachi Kings vs Multan Sultans Prediction

KRK Team News

Karachi Kings changed the shape of their team last time out as Aaron Summers made his first appearance and kept things tidy with the ball in place of countryman Ben Dunk. With Dunk absent, Mohammad Rizwan replaced Usman Shinwari and took the gloves. Karachi could be unchanged after getting back to winning ways with that line-up.

KRK Key Players

Liam Livingstone top-scored in the chase of 134 to beat Lahore Qalandars last time out and has now hit 227 runs from seven innings so far, including two half-centuries. One of those half-centuries was the 82 he hit in a stunning opening partnership with Babar Azam last time these teams met.

Azam has 212 runs in total, and has also hit two half-centuries, while Colin Ingram’s 195 runs include the unbeaten 127 he struck from 59 balls when the Kings beat Quetta Gladiators.

Iftikhar Ahmed scored 33 not out last time, having taken 2-4 from two overs, to prove his value as an all-rounder, but it is Mohammad Amir who has led the bowling attack.

The left-arm paceman took 4-25 when these teams last met and has nine wickets in total in the tournament. Umer Khan is two behind with seven from the six innings he has bowled in. His economy rate of seven runs per over is also impressive.

KRK Team Form

After three defeats in a row following their victory against Multan Sultans in their opening game, Karachi Kings have got back to form with two wins in their last three games.

Colin Ingram got them back to winning ways, when he bludgeoned 127 from just 59 balls to lead them to 188/4 from 18.4 overs in reply to Quetta Gladiators’ 186/5.They initially failed to back it up, despite Babar Azam’s 68 helping them set 168/8 against Islamabad United – the Kings falling to a five-wicket defeat in the final over – but they bounced back last time out.

Liam Livingstone top-scored as Karachi chased 134 to beat Lahore Qalandars by five wickets and record their third win in seven games so far in PSL 2019.
