The upcoming match between Islamabad United and Karachi Kings would be a golden chance for Shadab Khan and his team to gain two important points. On the other hand, Karachi is still struggling with consistency and determination in its ranks. With only Babar Azam clicking and making important runs wouldn’t get Karachi their first victory of the season. It wouldn’t be wrong to say that the entire Karachi Kings depends upon the lone Wolf, Babar Azam, who is among the only consistent player on the team.

Islamabad United- Aiming for a Comfortable Victory

Islamabad slipped down to the 3rd spot after getting defeated by Lahore Qalandars and Quetta gladiators.

Islamabad has won 3 out of 6 games played, with 4 games to go in the league stage. Islamabad has a robust and powerful batting line-up with the likes of Gurbaz, Alex Hales, Azam Khan, Asif Ali, Shadab Khan, Faheem Ashraf, and Hassan Ali. In the bowling department, they are led by Hassan Ali and Faheem Ashraf. Going in the game against Karachi Kings, Shadab Khan would be confident for winning the game comprehensively and gaining two important game points.

Karachi Kings- Babar the Lone Warrior

With 7 games played till now, Karachi hasn’t been able to win a single game, and this is because of their overall team failure and many other potential reasons.

Karachi Kings would be looking to regroup and perform up to the expectations of their fans and team management. Karachi Kings need to play out of their boxes and comfort zone to win against Islamabad, which seems quite tough.
