ABU DHABI (Dunya News) – Karachi Kings are 73-1 at the end of 10 overs against Lahore Qalandars in the 27th match of sixth edition of Pakistan Super League (PSL) at Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi on Thursday.
Karachi Kings have entered into a slump in the 2021 edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL). The team, led by Imad Wasim, has slipped down to fifth in the points table and is in urgent need of a win.
The Kings are yet to win a game in the second leg of the tournament at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium. Their next match is against the Lahore Qalandars in the second of Thursday’s doubleheader.
The Karachi Kings have been heavily reliant on Babar Azam to produce the goods at the top of the order. In the previous game, the Pakistan captain was dismissed for a blob as the Kings managed only 108 in their 10 overs. But concerningly, even when Azam has notched up big fifties, the team has failed to give him the right support.
The Qalandars, on the other hand, have faltered in run-chases in the league. They have also lost their previous two matches. With two matches left, Sohail Akhtar and Co won’t want more hiccups.
The Lahore Qalandars aren t out of the woods yet. Currently third with five wins from eight games, Sohail Akhtar s men need to arrest a concerning form slump that has seen them lose games to Islamabad United and last-placed Quetta Gladiators.
