Lahore Qalandars vs Karachi Kings Predictions
The Qalandars are unbeaten in their last three games, while the Kings have lost two of their last five. I’m backing the Qalandars as their top-three are making runs and their bowling attack is fierce.
- Lahore Qalandars’ Abdullah Shafique has scored 34, 22 & 53* in his last 3 innings.
- Lahore Qalandars’ Mohammad Naeem hit four sixes in his 30-ball innings of 50 against the Quetta Gladiators.
- James Vince (281 runs, ave 46.83 runs) is 2nd in the Pakistan Super League runs list.
- Karachi Kings’ Tim Seifert has scored 27, 30, 47 & 22 in his last 5 innings.
Head-to-Head
The Karachi Kings had won the last four meetings between the two sides before their league clash in mid-April, which the Qalandars won by 65 runs.
Lahore Qalandars Form
Lahore Qalandars have notched up two wins from their last three matches. Their last match was rained off with the Qalandars on 111/3 off 11.3 overs. Mohammad Naeem (50 off 30 balls) and Abdullah Shafique (53* off 32) had added 102 for the second wicket.
Their previous match saw the Qalandars beat top-of-the-table Islamabad United by 88 runs after posting 209/6 off their 20 overs. Fakhar Zaman top-scored with 44 off 30 balls, but the top-order all contributed valuable runs.
Islamabad were looking strong at 80/2 in the 10th over before a dramatic collapse saw them bowled out for 121 off 16.5 overs. Haris Rauf (4/31) and Sikandar Raza (3/20) were the destroyers-in-chief.
Lahore Qalandars Team News
The Qalandars are in great form and are unlikely to make any changes to their team.
Karachi Kings Form
The Kings bounced back from a five-run defeat to the Gladiators to pick up their fourth win in seven matches when they rolled the Sultans by 87 runs.
James Vince top-scored with 65* off 45 balls as the Kings racked up 204/4 off their 20 overs. Irfan Khan (40 off 33) and Khushdil Shah (33* off 13) added valuable support to Vince.
The Sultans were unable to get to grips with the Kings attack and were rolled for 117 off 16.1 overs. Mir Hamza (2/15, econ 6.92), Khushdil Shah (2/26, econ 6.50) and Mohammad Nabi (3/14, econ 3.50) starred with the ball for the Kings.
Karachi Kings Team News
The Kings will be looking for a repeat of their strong performance against the Sultans, but they will also have to raise their game to another level as the Kings are a much more formidable opponent than the Sultans.
Verdict
I am backing Lahore Qalandars to win. I am also backing Abdullah Shafique to top score for Lahore Qalandars.
James Vince is a good bet to top score for the Karachi Kings.
