Karachi Kings vs Lahore Qalandars Prediction, 6th Match Pakistan Super League 2022 – Who Will Win Todays Match?

Match Prediction – Karachi Kings vs Lahore Qalandars, 6 ^th Match Pakistan Super League 20222021/22

Karachi Kings will be up against Lahore Qalandars in the sixth match of the Pakistan Super League. Both Karachi Kings and Lahore Qalandars will be playing twice over the weekend and this will be their second consecutive game in as many days.

Karachi Kings will feel hard done by the opening game loss as they were no match for defending champions Multan Sultans in the season opener of the Pakistan Super League. Imran Tahir annihilated the batting unit and spun webs of deception with a match-winning spell of 3/16 in four overs. Despite Sharjeel Khan’s valiant efforts, Karachi batters were unable to mount any kind of resistance and could only manage a meager total of 124.

The bowling unit had very little to work with from the word go. Captain Babar Azam utilised seven different bowling options and although Mohammad Nabi picked up two wickets but was unable to prevent the inevitable. Opposition captain Mohammad Rizwan scored a wonderful unbeaten half-century to secure the win for Multan Sultans. Karachi Kings will have plenty of time to analyse their flaws before taking to the field against Lahore Qalandars. They would’ve also played Quetta Gladiators before that.

Lahore Qalandars ended up committing hara-kiri in the second half of their PSL 2021 campaign. They had gotten off to a fantastic start in the tournament with five wins in six games. With one foot in the playoffs and requiring just another win to qualify for the knockout stages, Qalandars suffered an inexplicable collapse and ended up losing all of their remaining four fixtures.

They had to pay the price for those collapses heavily. Despite having the same number of points as three other sides, they failed to make it to the playoff rounds and finished second from bottom with the second-worst net run rate in the league. They are the only team in PSL history who haven’t lifted the title yet and will be searching for their maiden crown this season.

As far as the historical record is concerned between the two sides, Karachi Kings have been extremely successful and have won eight matches. Lahore Qalandars only have four wins to their name while one match finished without a result between the two teams. Karachi Kings have also won three of the last five contests against Lahore Qalandars.

Who will win today’s match – Karachi Kings vs Lahore Qalandars, 6 ^th Match PSL 2022?

Karachi Kings got off to a horrible start to the campaign but on the brighter side, the fixture against the defending champions is out of the way. They will be hoping to make the most out of the next two games against Quetta Gladiators and Lahore Qalandars over the weekend.

Lahore Qalandars might be a tad bit nervous this time around given everything that unfolded so dramatically last season. They have a fantastic bowling unit, however, who will be raring to begin with a bang. This game might be hard to call as both sides are pretty even in their strengths and weaknesses.

Although Karachi Kings lost Arshaq Iqbal and Waqas Maqsood, Chris Jordan’s return will be a massive boost for the confidence of the bowling unit. Mohammed Amir didn’t have a great campaign last year and will be hoping to turn it around. Ian Cockbain has been in red-hot form in the BBL and Lewis Gregory is likely to add all-round value.

Mohammad Hafeez’s form could be a concern for Lahore Qalandars as he wasn’t among the runs in 2021. Shaheen Afridi has been appointed as the new captain of the team while Qalandars have also tried to strengthen the middle order with the addition of Harry Brook.
