Karachi Kings will be playing it’s 5th PSL 7-2022 match today and will try to come back as Karachi Kings not been so lucky so far in the current season of PSL. Former PSL champion Karachi Kings had lost its all four previous matches and currently residing on the last spot of points table.

Karachi Kings hopes to reach top four on points table will soon come to an end if they don’t put their all efforts to comeback. After loosing close fight in its last match by 9 runs from Peshawar Zalmi, Karachi Kings needs to try more to take on good side like Islamabad United.

Karachi’s performance with the ball seemed unsatisfactory as no bowler than U Asif puts pressure on the opposition. Asif took gave 36 runs in 4 overs and took 3 wickets of Peshawar Zalmi. L Gregory bowled well giving 10 runs but failed to score a wicket. Other bowlers I Wasim (30 for 0), M Imran (40 for 0) had forgettable outings with the ball.

In response, Karachi lost it one opening batter on a duck. However, Babar Azam played a super inning of 90 runs in 63 balls with 12 fours and a six. Ian Cockbain played a good show of 31 runs in 19 deliveries.

After his getting out, Babar Azam received a very little support from other end. So, Karachi fell short of tragety with 9 runs in the end.

Heading into their fifth match of the league, they would look to register their first win of this season.

Karachi’s opposition Islamabad United have played great cricket so far. Islamabad United have already won it’s 2 out 4 matches in the current season of PSL 7-2022. And now capturing the third spot in the points table.

Islamabad United lost a close contest from Lahore Qalandars in last game with 8 runs.
