The 7th match of the Pakistan Cup will be played between Balochistan & Khyber Pakhtunkhwa at the State Bank of Pakistan Sports Complex, Karachi on January 12th, Tuesday.

The match is scheduled to start at 9:30 am local time (10:00 am IST).

Preview

Both these teams have played two games in the tournament and have won 1 match each. Balochistan won their previous game just by 1 wicket in a nail-biting fashion. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, on the other side, pulled off a heist against Central Punjab and they chased a daunting score of 305 with 3.3 overs to spare.

The momentum, however, will be with Balochistan as they are coming from a win against Southern Punjab. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, on the contrary, will be looking to fight back after their loss in their previous match against Sindh.

BAL vs KHP Top Picks for Today’s Dream11 Match:

Imran Farhat scored a captain’s innings, making 96 the last time he came out to bat against Southern Punjab. He would love to lead from the front this time around too.

Taj Wali took 2 vital wickets in the previous match that helped his team cross the line in amazing fashion. He would be vital for Balochistan’s chances in this game as well.

Asif Afridi took a fifer in his previous game, but that ended in a losing cause. He would definitely be looking to make amends to his team’s result while repeating his heroics in this game as well. 

Bismillah Khan has looked in great touch right at the top of Balochistan’s batting line up. If he can give them a good start, his team might be able to continue their winning momentum.
