Karachi Kings will face Multan Sultans as both the teams look to move upward on the PSL points table. Karachi can move to the top of the table if they manage to defeat the depleted Multan Sultans, who have had a torrid start to their campaign. Kings have won three of their five matches so far, while Sultans have only registered one victory in their five matches.
Multan will be hoping their new signings, Johnson Charles and Shimron Hetmyer can provide them with fireworks at the top of the order and will be relying heavily on their spin duo of Imran Tahir and Usman Qadir.
Karachi, on the other hand, have a much more settled starting eleven, with the likes of Imad Wasim, Mohammad Amir and Babar Azam being the spine of the team. They have added two quality players in the shape of Martin Guptill and Thisara Perera to their already star-studded squad.
The match will begin at 6 pm Pakistan Standard Time as both the teams take on each other. The match will be live-streamed here.

Players to Lookout For
Karachi Kings:
While Karachi have a star-studded squad and any one of their players has the potential to turn the game on it’s head, but the acquisition of Thisara Perera can prove to be a masterstroke. Perera’s medium pace and variations can prove to be very useful at a slow pitch in Abu Dhabi, while his power-hitting at the backend of the innings can change the complexion of the game in just a few moments.
Multan Sultans:
Multan will be looking towards their captain, Mohammad Rizwan, for inspiration. Rizwan has been in sublime form over the past year and is currently the leading run-scorer in this year’s PSL. Rizwan will be the key at the top of the order and also will have huge decisions to make on the field. With his never-say-die attitude, Rizwan can grab the game by the scruff of it’s neck.
