Quetta Gladiators, who are out of contention for a playoff berth, will face Karachi Kings in their final league match of PSL 2021 at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
Unlike Quetta, Karachi are still in with a chance of qualifying for the knockout stages, but they will have to win Saturday's game to stay alive.
Quetta and Karachi are the two bottom-placed sides in PSL 2021. While the Gladiators have won only two out of their nine matches, the Kings have been victorious in four.
In their last match, Quetta slumped to a 110-run defeat by Multan Sultans. After conceding 183 runs bowling first, the Gladiators were dismissed for just 73. With nothing but pride to play for, Sarfaraz Ahmed’s men will be keen to end the tournament on a high.
Karachi Kings, meanwhile, put on a strong display against Lahore Qalandars to stay alive in the tournament. Babar Azam (54), Martin Guptill (43) and Imad Wasim (30 not out) guided the Kings to 176 for five.
Noor Ahmad then delivered a brilliant spell of two for 19, dismissing Mohammad Hafeez and Ben Dunk, as Lahore fell short by seven runs.

Quetta Gladiators vs Karachi Kings Match Prediction
Quetta Gladiators have not looked like a cohesive unit at all and won’t have much confidence going into their final game of the season. Karachi Kings, on the other hand, would have been lifted by their win last time around. They are still battling for a playoff berth and should be confident of overcoming the Gladiators.
