The match is scheduled to start at 10:00 am local time (10:30 am IST).
Preview:
With two such teams that have performed similarly in this tournament so far facing off against each other in a game of cricket, will make it an interesting match to watch and see which team gets on top in a situation where picking a favourite is as difficult as ever.
The Southern Punjab Second XI have played in 4 games and have lost only once, and are placed at the 2nd spot in the table. While their opponents have played in the same number of games and have lost and won 2 matches and are positioned at the 4th position in the table. So, a win will definitely get them to a higher spot and the position they are at relative to each other, it will be interesting to see which one gets past the finish line successfully.
KP vs SP Weather Report for Match 15:
The weather in Karachi is expected to be good enough for an uninterrupted game of cricket to be played, with the temperature being around the 24 degree Celsius mark.
Pitch Report:
The pitch at this venue has been used throughout this tournament and has gone through its share of wear and tear, so it will behave quite differently than what it did during the first few matches of the tournament. It is expected to be a batting-friendly surface, with spinners extracting the most amount of help from it amongst the bowlers.
