Preview for Dream11 Fantasy

Karachi Kings are currently at the 2nd position in the league table. They have won two games in a row and they will look to continue with the same form in the upcoming clash. In batting, they have Babar Azam, Rilee Rossouw and Alex Hales, who will look to play responsible knocks with the bat. Even the focus will be on his performance in the upcoming clash. On the other hand, in bowling Mohammad Amir has regained his brilliant form with the ball. He grabbed four-wicket haul in his last outing against Peshawar Zalmi.

Multan Sultans are also moving on their winning streak as they have marked three consecutive wins. In batting, James Vince, Shan Masood and Rilee Rossouw have formed a formidable trio for their side. Even, Rossouw smacked a 44-ball ton in the previous game for his team against defending champions Quetta Gladiators. Meanwhile, their bowling unit also looks pretty much on the mark with the likes of Imran Tahir, Mohammad Irfan and Sohail Tanvir.

Weather Condition/Report

The weather forecast says that the chances of rain on the matchday are quite high and it might abandon the game. The wind will be blowing at a rate of 15 to 17 km/hr whereas the temperature will deviate between 12 and 18 Degree Celsius throughout the day according to Accuweather.


Pitch Condition/Report

The track at Gaddafi Stadium is expected to go in the favour of batsmen with spinners expected to have their say in the latter part of the game. So far this ground has hosted a total of five games in which the side batting first has managed to go past score of 150 runs on four occasions. Meanwhile, the side chasing has ended up winning the match on most of the occasions. So, the team winning the toss will most probably look to field first to be on the safer side.
