Karachi Kings and Islamabad United will lock horns on Sunday (February 6) in the ongoing Pakistan Super League (PSL). It is also the penultimate game of the Karachi leg, with the tournament set to move to Lahore on February 10.
United are coming into this game after losing to Shaheen Afridi-led Lahore Qalandars in a close encounter. They were on course to chase down 175, but could only manage 166-5. Nevertheless, they are still in a better position with two wins from four games, and are in third position in the points table.
Karachi Kings, meanwhile, have not found their footing in the tournament. Their captain Babar Azam fought a lone battle, scoring an unbeaten 90 in the 174-run chase, but couldn't prevent his team losing for fourth time in as many matches. The Kings are languishing at the bottom of the points table.
With this game being the last of the Karachi leg, Azam and co will look to sign off from their home ground with a win.
