Preview:

They only won one game last year, and Imad Wasim, who takes over as captain, will look to put that behind them. For this season, they’ve gone with a fresh look, and new faces have joined the camp. It will be a difficult game, and Wasim hopes to remove the monkey from their backs with a victory.

Sharjeel Khan has been a consistent performer for the team, and he hopes to establish a big opening wicket stand with Adam Rossington in this game. Tayyab Tahir will play an important role at No. 3, and he will need to score runs alongside Shoaib Malik and Matthew Wade. Imad Wasim and Muhammad Irfan are expected to run down the order for the side.

Mohammad Amir is the attack’s spearhead, and he must strike early in the game with Aamir Yamin. Imran Tahir has a lot of experience, and the team would like to see him bowl tight spells in the middle overs. Muhammad Musa and Wasim round out the team’s strong bowling attack.

Karachi Kings vs Peshawar Zalmi Toss Prediction

It’s never easy to defend totals on Asian tracks. There is also the dew factor to consider for both teams. Batting will be relatively easy in the game’s second innings. In this game, the team that wins the toss will look to bowl first and limit the opponents to a low total.
