Peshawar Zalmi vs Karachi Kings Prediction
There is going to be a lot more pressure on Peshawar Zalmi who need to ensure a win here at all costs in order to keep their playoffs chances alive while Karachi Kings need to win at least one of their remaining two matches to make it through. The former should gain confidence from having beaten the latter four times out of six in the PSL but they will also be aware of the defeat they suffered at the hands of the same opposition in their first head-to-head clash of the season. Karachi Kings have an edge due to their superior bowling attack which is why we feel they have a better chance of notching up a win.
Final Verdict: Back Karachi Kings to beat Peshawar Zalmi at 1.80 on Bet365 and 1.75 on Unibet.
