Match 6 of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2021 has the defending champions Karachi Kings taking on the Islamabad United at the National Stadium in Karachi.
The home side Karachi Kings began their campaign with a bang. Arshad Iqbal and Joe Clarke paved the way for a seven-wicket win against the Quetta Gladiators. Karachi are well-equipped with Babar Azam and Colin Ingram featuring in their batting unit. Adding Mohammad Amir to the mix only sweetens the deal for the Kings.
Islamabad United also began their campaign with a win, albeit a hard-fought one. They had Lewis Gregory to thank for a superlative win. Led by Shadab Khan, Islamabad boast of the likes of Alex Hales and Faheem Ashraf in a strong squad.
Both teams are well-matched on paper, with nothing to separate them in either department. All in all, an entertaining game of cricket beckons, with both sides looking to remain unbeaten in this year's PSL.

Pitch Report
As seen in the PSL game between Lahore Qalandars and Quetta Gladiators, the pitch did play well with the ball skidding on nicely to the bat. While the pacers got the ball to move around, the batsmen enjoyed the conditions, with Chris Gayle and Fakhar Zaman going big.
A similar sort of surface is expected on Wednesday as well, with 160-170 being par at this venue. The spinners could also have a say in the outcome with some turn on offer. Both teams will look to chase, with dew playing a part in the second innings.
