The Karachi Kings were really unlucky not to claim an opening victory in the Pakistan Super League. Johan Botha’s side were outsiders when lining up against Peshawar Zalmi, with the latter blazing a trail and putting together 199 runs off their 20 overs.
However, the Kings produced a spirited response only to fall short with 197 runs. They will draw plenty of confidence from the knock that was put together and might be able to land their first victory against an Islamabad side who are stepping out for the first time this season.

United are among the favourites to win the Pakistan Super League although they won less than half of their matches during the regular season in 2022 and then lost in Eliminator 2 to Lahore Qalanders after previously overcoming Peshawar.
Captain Shadab Khan is a fearsome operator at this level and he continues to be Pakistan’s most successful T20I bowler, although there are question marks over the batting attack and those accusations can’t be levelled at Karachi after their previous match.
