Peshawar Zalmi vs Karachi Kings Predictions
Zalmi are three places behind the Kings, but they have won just one match less. The two sides have identical records over the past five games so I’m backing Babar Azam to hit his highest score of the season to spearhead a Zalmi win.
- Peshawar Zalmi’s Babar Azam has scored 46, 56* & 53* in his last 5 innings.
- Peshawar Zalmi’s Mohammad Haris (230 runs) is 9th in the PSL runs list.
- Karachi Kings’ Irfan Khan scored 40 & 48* in his last 2 innings.
- Karachi Kings’ James Vince (294 runs, ave 42.00) is 4th on the PSL runs list.
Head-to-Head
Peshawar Zalmi have won three and lost two of their last five matches against Karachi Kings.
Peshawar Zalmi Form
Peshawar Zalmi made it three wins from their last four matches when they beat the Multan Sultans by seven wickets.
Zalmi rolled the Sultans for 108 off 19.1 overs. Ahmed Daniyal (3/17) and Maaz Sadaqat (2/12) were the pick of the Zalmi bowlers.
Zalmi had no trouble knocking off the required runs for the loss of just three wickets. Saim Ayub (49 off 33 balls) and Max Bryant (38* off 20) did the bulk of the scoring for the visitors.
Peshawar Zalmi Team News
There are no injury reports from the Peshawar Zalmi squad.
Karachi Kings Form
The Kings recorded their fifth win of the season when they beat the Lahore Qalandars by four wickets.
With the match restricted to 15 overs due to rain, the Qalandars got off to an incredible start, reaching 121/1 inside 11 overs. The Kings attack struck back, snapping up seven wickets in the last 4.2 overs as the Qalandars reached 160/8 off their 5 overs. Abbas Afridi (4/27) snapped up four of the Qalandars’ top six.
The Kings timed their chase perfectly, reaching 168/6 off 14.3 overs. Irfan Khan top-scored with 48* off 21 balls.
Karachi Kings Team News
Karachi Kings are in good form and are unlikely to make any changes to their team.
Verdict
I am backing Peshawar Zalmi to win. I am also backing Babar Azam to top score for Peshawar Zalmi.
Irfan Khan is a good bet to top score for the Karachi Kings.
