In the second playoff match of Pakistan Super League 2021, which will be the eliminator clash, Karachi Kings will take on Peshawar Zalmi. Not many had thought Karachi Kings will qualify for the playoffs, but thanks to two consecutive wins, they managed to seal their place.
On the other hand, there was a stage where Peshawar Zalmi were looking like favourites, but their form has taken a dip in the last few matches. They will need to bring out their A-game on the table if they want to advance further in this competition.
