Islamabad United will take on Karachi Kings in the 21st match of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2022 at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore.
Islamabad have played six games so far, winning three and losing as many. They are coming off a loss against Quetta Gladiators in their previous fixture. After being asked to bat first, United posted 199 on the board in their allotted twenty overs. What followed next was a disappointing performance from their bowlers, as the Gladiators chased down the total with two deliveries to spare.
Karachi Kings, meanwhile, are languishing at the bottom of the points table. Nothing has gone right for them so far this season, as they have lost all six of their games. They lost to Peshawar Zalmi in their last outing.
Bowling first, the Kings’ bowlers struggled to pick wickets as the Zalmis posted 193-6. However, in response, they managed only 138 as they remain winless in the competition.
