Match Details

The second semi-final of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2020 between Karachi Kings and Lahore Qalandars at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore.

The match will start at 7:00 PM local time (2:00 PM GMT) (7:30 PM IST).

Chris Lynn's inconceivable thump of 113 in the last league match propelled Lahore Qalandars into the knockout phases of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) just because. Karachi Kings, who finished second on the points table, would now not have an additional chance to go into the final on the off chance that they lose this match. The weight would be on Imad Wasim's side clearly as they will be facing a solid home side. 

Lahore won just five matches however the energy is with them. Winning four of their last five matches has made the Sohail Akhtar-drove side certain. Interestingly, the main match which Lahore lost during this time was against Karachi Kings by 10 wickets. In any case, a few days before that Lahore had themselves beaten Karachi by eight wickets. 

To put it plainly, the second semi-final is relied upon to be pressed with energy and rush. We could have another high-scoring illicit relationship on the cards as these two great sides conflict in look for a spot in the summit conflict. 

Weather Report 

There is a slight possibility of precipitation in Lahore yet it probably won't influence the match a lot. The temperatures could go down similarly as 14 degrees Celsius during the evening. The cold and crisp may help some swing bowling yet on a level deck, it is probably not going to occur. 

Pitch Report 

The Lahore pitch has been great for batting this season. In the last five matches here, multiple times groups batting first have gone past 185. Interestingly, on three events runs have been pursued too. This demonstrates how bowlers haven't discovered their magic on a pitch which has been great for batting. Dew could likewise become possibly the most important factor in the later phases of the matches.
