Karachi Kings vs Quetta Gladiators Match Prediction, PSL 2020
Quetta Gladiators must beat Karachi Kings in the final group game of the 2020 Pakistan Super League or they will be eliminated. The match takes place at the National Stadium, Karachi, on March 15 and the live action is scheduled to start at 19:00 local time.
The defending champions go into the final day of fixtures sat bottom of the pile, having won just three of their eight completed games. They have lost Jason Roy and Tymal Mills too, with the English duo returning home in order due to coronavirus fears. The Gladiators’ last completed game saw them post just 98/9 from their 20 overs against Lahore Qalandars too.
Karachi Kings, on the other hand, are guaranteed to finish second no matter what happens on the final day of round robin action. They have got back to winning ways with a ten-wicket win against Lahore and their four-wicket triumph against Islamabad last time out.

Quetta Gladiators Team News & Playing 11
QTG Team News
Jason Roy and Tymal Mills have both returned home as a result of the coronavirus outbreak. Mills did not play their last completed game – the defeat to Lahore after a below-par batting performance – but Roy has been at the top of the order. Young paceman Naseem Shah is doubtful as a result of the ankle injury that also saw him miss the last game.
QTG Key Players
Mohammad Hasnain: While the team have been below par, the teenage paceman has taken 14 wickets in eight matches to lead the wicket-taking charts.
Mohammad Nawaz: Took 2-9 last time out to move to six wickets in the tournament, while he has contributed 108 runs with the bat.
Ben Cutting: The more prominent of the all-rounders, he has taken eight wickets and has scored 146 runs.
QTG Team Form
Quetta Gladiators were denied the chance to end their four-match losing streak last time out due to the weather. It means they have still not played since struggling to a miserable 98/9 from their 20 overs on their way to an eight-wicket loss to Lahore Qalandars.
Quetta Gladiators Predicted Playing 11
Shane Watson, Ahmed Shehzad, Anwar Ali, Sarfaraz Ahmed (c, wk), Mohammad Nawaz, Azam Khan, Ben Cutting, Sohail Khan, Fawad Ahmed, Zahid Mahmood, Mohammad Hasnain
