PSL 15 - Islamabad United -
Karachi Kings
The Kings have played like
the royals they are named. Winning three out of four matches, they top the
table with 7 points and a run rate of +0.8750. Following them is Team Multan
Sultans, the surprise package of the tournament. Making their debut with a big
splash, this team made a name for themselves the moment they defeated the
defending champions. Peshawar Zalmi, the defending champs follow closely with
the same number of wins and a slightly lower run rate. Just slightly. Multan
Sultans’ one match got rained out giving them an extra point. Bet Zalmi not
really pleased about it. Lahore Qalandars, five losses from five matches,
probably do not know what to think at this point.
Today’s match is between
table topper Karachi Kings and Islamabad United, one above the last. There is
definitely hope for Islamabad United. They just need to get it together.
Karachi Kings
They have everything going
for them now. And then you have Shahid Afridi. Babar Azam. Joe Denly. Colin
Ingram. R Bopara. Bowlers - Mills, Amir, and
Wasim. This is a team that is firing on
all cylinders. Afridi will be missed but not too much.
They are not likely to change the playing eleven.
