Karachi Kings vs Peshawar Zalmi Match Analysis

On Monday, March 11 at 21:00 local time, Karachi Kings and Peshawar Zalmi will square off in Match 29 of the 2024 Pakistan Super League. With eight points going into the game, the Kings trail Peshawar Zalmi, who are currently in second place, by three. The match at Karachi’s National Stadium begins at 21:00 local time.

Even though their victory over Lahore Qalandars, who are currently at the bottom of the table, in Match 26 was extremely narrow, Karachi Kings have now won two of their past three games. To give Peshawar Zalmi a serious fight in this match, they will have to play at their highest level.

Match 25 saw Peshawar Zalmi overcome Quetta Gladiators by a wide margin, and we anticipate a lot of confidence from Babar Azam’s team. They will also be seeking retribution for their earlier campaign defeat to the Karachi Kings.

Karachi Kings vs Peshawar Zalmi Team Preview & Squads

Karachi Kings

To maintain their hopes of making the playoffs, Shan Masood’s team overcame the Lahore Qalandars by three wickets in the final encounter. The final game saw their batters perform admirably. They will need to put up a strong performance from their players because they will be up against the Peshawar Zalmi.   

The team will require strong performances from James Vince and Tim Seifert, who both had strong games in the previous match. The side will require alliances between Shan Masood, Kieron Pollard, and Shoaib Malik because the middle order is formidable. During the last overs, Anwar and Irfan Khan would try to score quick runs.

The bowling attack has been patchy, so the team will be hoping for a strong performance from Blessing Muzarabani and Shoaib Malik with the new ball. Given Peshawar Zalmi’s potent batting order, Anwar Ali and Hasan Ali need to perform well in the middle overs. They can also anticipate strong performances from Kieron Pollard and Zahid Mahmood in the supporting parts.

Peshawar Zalmi

In the previous match, Babar Azam’s team defeated the Quetta Gladiators by a score of 76 runs. They are in the playoffs now that they have won. Azam wants his squad to gain confidence going into the next round by using this final game. They’ve had success playing the Karachi Kings, and Azam wants that to continue.  

Saim Ayub, who has also been scoring runs, will try to give Babar Azam, who has been playing fantastically, a strong start. They would prefer partnerships between Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Haseebullah Khan, and Mohammad Harris since the middle order is performing well. Aamer Jamal and Rovman Powell give this batting unit more firepower. 

With the new ball, Luke Wood and Saim Ayub have caused problems for batsmen, and they will try to take early wickets. Naveen-ul-Haq and Khurram Shahzad will need to do well in the middle overs. In the supporting position, the side will be looking for strong stints from Aamer Jamal and Mehran Mumtaz.
