Karachi Kings have won back to back games in PSL 2020 before their past game got abandon due to rain. They have gained consistency in their performances at the perfect time when play-off dates are approaching near. Up until this point, they have defeated Peshawar Zalmi twice and once they outclassed Islamabad United. Kings are coming out with a great team effort due to which the other teams are finding trouble in defeating them.

Then again, Lahore Qalandars glances entirely miserable in this edition of the tournament. They are consistently performing poor in each separate department of the game. None of their players has managed to find their depressions due to which Qalandars have endured

It is high time that they should come out with some brilliance before they get took out from the tournament. And, looking forward to their past performances the chances of Lahore Qalandars getting out of the PSL 2020 playoff qualification race are quite high.

Team Combination:

Lahore Qalandars

Chris Lynn and Salman Butt are the certain short sprinters to open the innings for Qalandars. Later on, they have players like Mohammad Hafeez, Ben Dunk and Samit Patel, who can play snappy fire thumps when required yet their battle in the tournament against a rival is one most compelling motivation behind the terrible showing of Qalandars.

Indeed, even their captain Sohail Akhtar is having a nightmare that is not coming to an end. As a batsman, he has failed on all the occasions for the team. In any case, the management despite everything trusts that a decent thump from his willow may change the fate of the team.

They have Dilbar Hussain, Usman Shinwari and Salman Irshad, who structure a productive fast-bowling trio however their inconsistency has neutralized their team. In any case, they are quite talented and in the event that they managed to pull off a performance according to their caliber, then the chances of Qalandars winning the upcoming clash will automatically get high

Probable XI: Chris Lynn, Salman Butt, Mohammad Hafeez, Ben Dunk (wk), Samit Patel, Sohail Akhtar (c), Muhammad Faizan, Seekkuge Prasanna, Usman Shinwari, Salman Irshad, Dilbar Hussain

Karachi Kings

Kings are required to come out with their winning combination that registered six-wicket victory against Peshawar Zalmi. In batting, they have Sharjeel Khan, Babar Azam, who will open the innings followed by Alex Hales, Cameron Delport, Chadwick Walton and Iftikhar Ahmed in the center request.

They boast a solid batting line up in comparison to their bowling unit that looks entirely inexperienced that is totally reliant on their two main fast bowlers–Chris Jordan and Mohammad Amir. Kings look shy of a world-class spinner, who can disturb opposition batting line. There is Imad Wasim, who is leading the spin attack of the team. In any case, so far he hasn't managed a breakthrough performance with the ball.

Probable XI: Sharjeel Khan, Babar Azam, Alex Hales, Cameron Delport, Chadwick Walton (wk), Iftikhar Ahmed, Imad Wasim, Chris Jordan, Aamer Yamin, Mohammad Amir, Umer Khan

The emphasis will be on

Chris Lynn (Lahore Qalandars)

Chris Lynn will play a vital job in the upcoming game against Karachi Kings. PSL 2020 has not worked out positively for the Aussie international up to this point. In any case, he has given some looks at his great structure with the bat. Besides, he has battled in getting looking great so far to his inning. Be that as it may, on the off chance that he managed to pull off great innings with his bat, then the chances of Qalandars losing the match will be quite low.

Babar Azam (Karachi Kings)

Babar Azam is the leading run-scorer for Karachi Kings in PSL 2020. He has demonstrated his value as an opener, who is consistently scoring runs in packs for his team. His strike rate is not that acceptable in the tournament but rather the impact of his thump is quite lethal that has ended up being the main reason behind the achievement of Karachi Kings in this edition. So far he has gathered 187 runs in five innings with two fifties. His performance will play a crucial job in the clash against Lahore Qalandars.
