Pakistan Super League 2023, Match 17, Peshawar Zalmi vs Karachi Kings: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, and Live Streaming Details

 

On March 1st, Peshawar Zalmi and Karachi Kings will square off in Pakistan Super League 2023's Match No. 17. The Pindi Cricket Club in Rawalpindi will host the game.

The Zalmi, who are coached by Babar Azam, haven't had the best tournament performances so far. They started off by defeating Imad Wasim's Karachi Kings by two runs, but since then, they have dropped three of their last four games.

Their net run rate of -1.332, which puts them in fifth place in the points table, is the second-worst after Quetta Gladiators' -1.977. They will enter the contest having suffered a 40-run defeat against Shaheen Shah Afridi's Lahore Qalandars.

On the other side, the Kings, who have four points and a net run rate of +0.862, are ranked fourth in the table. By ousting the Qalandars with a victory in their upcoming game, they will move up to third place.

After defeating the league leaders Multan Sultans by 66 runs in their previous match, they would be feeling confident. The Kings bowled the Sultans out for 101 in 16.3 overs after requesting that their opponents chase down 168 from them.
