The 14th match of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) will be played between Islamabad United and Karachi Kings at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.

The match will be played at 7pm.

The 2016 and 2018 winners of the tournament, Islamabad United have an excellent record in the tournament. Karachi Kings, on the other hand, have yet to lift the title. In the last four tournaments, the Kings have finished third in 2017 and 2018 and finished fourth in 2016 and 2019.

During the current edition too, the Kings’ performance has not been up to the mark, having played three matches so far and only managing to win one match. They defeated Peshawar Zalmi by 10 runs and then lost to Quetta Gladiators by five wickets and to Multan Sultans by 52 runs.

United, on the other hand, have played five matches so far having won two and losing two while their game on Saturday was abandoned due to rain. United have five points while the Kings have earned only two points from their three matches.

United are being led by all-rounder Shadab Khan while his national teammate Imad Wasim is captaining Karachi Kings.

Though Islamabad has an edge over Karachi, the latter can upset the former. Let’s see what happens tonight.
