Toss Prediction
Five of the past seven PSL matches at the Sharjah Cricket Ground have been won by the team batting second. Since the team that has batted second at this venue has won more matches in recent times, the toss-winning skipper may look to bowl first in this match. Peshawar Zalmi have won their last two matches as well as two out of the three matches at this ground while chasing. We therefore recommend betting on them if they bat second.

Karachi Kings Team News & Playing 11
Team News
There are no injuries in the side and the same combination of eleven that featured in the last game is expected to take the field in this upcoming match.
Key Players
Their biggest hope with the bat is Chris Gayle but he has failed to fire for the third time in a row and this will put more pressure on Azam, Sangakkara and Malik. Sangakkara blasted 65 off 45 balls against Lahore Qalandars and the team will want him to continue the good work against Peshawar Zalmi. Karachi Kings will rely heavily on fast bowler Sohail Khan to peg back Peshawar. He is one of the leading wicket-takers of PSL 2017 and we predict him to do a decent job with the ball.
Recent Form
Karachi Kings have received nothing but disappointment so far having lost their first three league matches in a row. They are yet to get off the mark on the points table and are sitting right at the bottom. Their bowlers will need to pull up their socks as they failed to defend good scores of 159 and 179 in the last two matches.
Karachi Kings Predicted Playing 11
-
Babar Azam, CH Gayle, KC Sangakkara (c/wk), Shoaib Malik, KA Pollard, RS Bopara, Imad Wasim, Sohail Khan, Mohammad Amir, Usama Mir, Usman Khan.
Peshawar Zalmi Team News & Playing 11
Team News
Peshawar Zalmi are in a good physical condition with all their players match-fit. The team is unlikely to tweak its combination for this match against Karachi Kings.
Key Players
Kamran Akmal and Eoin Morgan are the only batsmen in their team to have hit a fifty each so far this season. They are the key batsmen at the top of the order with skipper Sammy playing an important role in the lower-middle order. Hasan Ali and Chris Jordan have been the most impressive of their bowlers. Ali removed three major batsmen in the game against Lahore Qalandars and we predict the pacer to do some damage against Karachi Kings as well.
Recent Form
Peshawar Zalmi are comfortably positioned at the top of the table with two wins from three league games. They will be coming into this match after beating Karachi Kings and Lahore Qalandars in their previous two fixtures. Batting, however, is an area where they will need to work on as many of their specialist batsmen are yet to make significant contributions.
Peshawar Zalmi Predicted Playing 11
-
Mohammad Hafeez, Tamim Iqbal, Kamran Akmal (wk), EJG Morgan, Shahid Afridi, Sohaib Maqsood, DJG Sammy (c), CJ Jordan, Wahab Riaz, Mohammad Asghar, Hasan Ali.

Karachi Kings vs Peshawar Zalmi Head to Head
Peshawar Zalmi have never lost to Karachi Kings in the Pakistan Super League, winning all the three matches to be played between the two teams in the past. One of these matches was played at Sharjah last year. It was a closely fought contest with Peshawar edging out Karachi by three runs in the end.
Karachi Kings vs Peshawar Zalmi Prediction
Karachi Kings are one of the strongest PSL teams with the likes of Gayle, Sangakkara, Pollard, Bopara and Mohammad Amir on their roster. But despite being a powerful-looking side, they have not been able to showcase their mojo. And in addition to losing their past seven consecutive matches, they have faced defeats four times in five matches they have played at Sharjah. Plus, the fact that they have been beaten all three times by Peshawar Zalmi in the past is going to dent their confidence even more.
Peshawar Zalmi may not look that mighty on paper but they have been one of the most consistent sides in the PSL. Also, they have an impressive record at this ground with three wins from four games. Peshawar Zalmi recorded an easy seven-wicket win over Karachi Kings earlier in the season and they look well set to win this second bout as well.
Final Verdict: Back Peshawar Zalmi to beat Karachi Kings in the 13th match of PSL 2017.
