PSL Cricket Match Prediction 2024 | Match 22 | Karachi Kings vs Quetta Gladiators – Let’s see who will win. | March 6 

Karachi Kings vs Quetta Gladiators Match Analysis

The Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium will host the 2024 Pakistan Super League encounter between the Karachi Kings and Quetta Gladiators on Wednesday afternoon. The Gladiators have nine points from their first six games, while the Kings have only four points from their first six. The tournament’s match number twenty-two begins on March 6 at 14:00 local time.

The Karachi Kings appear to be a team lacking self-assurance and uncertain about their future source of success. The Kings have now dropped three straight games, even though the previous head-to-head match against the Quetta Gladiators was decided on the final ball.

Before their match against Islamabad United was called off without a ball being bowled, Quetta Gladiators were in superb form, but that should have allowed some of its players to get some much-needed rest. In this match, we anticipate the Gladiators to be fired up as always.

Karachi Kings vs Quetta Gladiators Team Preview & Squads

Karachi Kings

The team led by Shan Masood has not played well. They have only won two games and lost their most recent match to the Multan Sultans by 20 runs. For the squad to move up the standings, they have to win, and Masood will need his men to give it their all. 

Time Seifert and Shan Masood will be crucial to the team’s success in this game since they can score runs rapidly. They will require alliances between James Vince, Shoaib Malik, and Leus du Plooy because the middle order is formidable. Mohammad Nawaz and Irfan Khan intend to make use of the lengthy handle.  

This match will be a significant challenge to the bowling assault, and the club will need strong new ball stints from Mir Hamza and Blessing Muzarabani. Hasan Ali and Muhammad Nawaz need to monitor the middle overs’ scoring rate. The team will also be hoping for strong performances from Malik and Zahid Mahmood.

Quetta Gladiators

Due to inclement weather that postponed play in the previous game, Rilee Rossouw’s team was forced to share points with Islamabad United. They are ranked second in the standings and have had a successful season with four victories and just one loss. With a victory, the team will hope to increase its prospects of qualifying for the postseason.  

The opening pair, Jason Roy and Saud Shakeel are playing well, and the club is looking forward to a solid start from them. This middle order is powerful thanks to Khawaja Nafay, Sarfaraz Ahmed, and Rilee Rossouw; the team will look to them for runs. The squad will be counting on Sherfane Rutherford and Akeal Hosein, two talented hitters, to put on a great display in the lower middle order.  

The bowling attack has shown promise, and the team will be counting on Sohail Khan and Akeal Hosein to take wickets with the new ball. With Mohammad Wasim, Abrar Ahmed, who has troubled batsmen in the middle overs, will try to do the same. Rutherford and Usman Tariq round up the team’s potent bowling attack.

There will be a lot of cloud cover for this Wednesday afternoon’s match in Rawalpindi. Throughout the match’s planned hours, there is no chance of rain.

The Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium is a decent batting track, therefore the team that bats first in this match should aim to score at least 185 runs to be in the running.
