15 Match: It has not been a championship where both Karachi Kings or even Peshawar Zalmi have mastered. Both the groups have blown hot and cold primary time in this 2020 variant of this PSL. Karachi Kings began their campaign with a win over Peshawar Zalmi since the latter failed to pursue down 202.
Whenever that the batsmen have done nicely, Karachi Kings happen to be around top. In reality, they have an excellent bowling attack, and there’s quality from the batting also. Therefore, if the batsmen could always get huge scores, they might well be a significant threat.
Peshawar Zalmi’s case has not been too different. They’ve been on top of the batting and have arrived at the celebration. In general, they’ve won 2, lost one, and two were rained off. Additionally, their losses and wins have come alternatingly using their final match against Islamabad United washed out.
Zalmi will be seeking to avenge the reduction Karachi Kings handed them into their opening match of the year. Nevertheless, in total head-to-head conflicts, Zalmi leads having an 8-3 win-loss listing within the Kings. It will be another batting attractiveness in the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. It’s generated some high-scoring games, and we can be set for yet another. Moreover, with some blazing batters on each side, it might be a run-fest.
