Preview

Karachi Kings (KAR) will face Peshawar Zalmi (PES) in the second game of the Pakistan Super League 2023 on Tuesday (February 14) at the National Stadium in Karachi. The Kings won just a single game last season and finished in the last place in the points table. However, a lot has changed in the squad since that time. Babar Azam, the skipper of the side, has moved to Peshawar Zalmi. Shoaib Malik recently had a great outing in the Bangladesh Premier League and has also switched sides. Joe Clarke, the wicketkeeper-batter, has been replaced by Matthew Wade. Imad Wasim will be captaining the side this season.

Zalmi won six out of ten games last season and finished in third place. A loss in the first eliminator against Islamabad United ended Zalmi’s campaign the previous year. They are the only side in the league which has qualified for the playoffs each year. Babar has been named the skipper and will replace Wahab Riaz. The batting unit will miss some key players this season, and a lot will depend on Babar’s performance.
