Karachi Kings Team News & Playing 11
Khurram Manzoor, Babar Azam, Colin Ingram and Ravi Bopara form the core of their batting. Manzoor and Azam looked in fine touch hitting a fifty each in the last game against Islamabad United and the team will want them to continue their good form heading into this game. When it comes to bowling, Karachi Kings will bank on the likes of Mohammad Amir, Tymal Mills and Imad Wasim to take wickets and dry down the runs. Wasim had returned impressive figures of 2-19 from four overs in the reverse fixture against the Gladiators who now will look to be more watchful while facing this left-arm spinner.

Quetta Gladiators Team News & Playing 11
The batting department relies heavily on Shane Watson, Umar Amin, Kevin Pietersen and Sarfraz Ahmed to score the big runs. Watson has been a vital cog in the team's line-up this PSL, scoring the most runs and taking the most wickets for the Gladiators. The Aussie all-rounder was the pick of the bowlers (three wickets at an economy of 5.50) in the earlier encounter against the Kings and he will once again have to take up the responsibility of providing the early breakthroughs. However, the team will also need good bowling performances from Rahat Ali and Mohammad Nawaz.

Karachi Kings vs Quetta Gladiators Betting Odds
Karachi Kings start off as favorites amongst the bookmakers to win this match at odds of 1.60 on Betfair. They began their PSL 3 campaign on a positive note with wins in their first three league fixtures but will look to bounce back after their loss to Islamabad United in their last match. Quetta Gladiators have not been as consistent as they were in the past two seasons and they are the underdogs for this game with a 2.04 offer on Betfair.
Karachi Kings vs Quetta Gladiators Prediction
Quetta Gladiators have a massive edge as far as head-to-head record is concerned. The two teams have faced each other five times in the Pakistan Super League with the Gladiators leading the scoreline 4-1. However when they met earlier in the second game of the ongoing season, Karachi Kings emerged victorious by 19 runs. The Kings are performing better this year and even though they are coming off a defeat in their last game, we still feel they are better placed to win here.
Final Verdict: Back Karachi Kings to beat Quetta Gladiators at 1.60 on betfair.
