Welcome to our Preview for ISL vs KAR T20 match of PSL2018. The match will be played at the Sharjah Cricket Association Stadium, Sharjah and this is our Dream11 preview and probable playing XI for Islamabad United vs Karachi Kings. Eoin Morgan side will have to win this match to enter playoffs, otherwise they’ll be dependent on Run Rate.
Islamabad have won their last match against Quetta, while Karachi lost theirs to Peshawar. This puts Islamabad United on top of the table, and leaves Karachi on third spot.
In their last match Islamabad United won by 6 wickets. That was as comprehensive win as any. With JP Duminy upfront, and later Hussain Talat firing things up against Quetta Gladiators. Earlier, Faheem Ashraf and Amad Butt took 5 wickets between them to restrict opponents to 147.
Fate wasn’t as graceful for Karachi Kings against Peshawar Zalmi. Bowling first, only Usman Khan looked in control of the things. He took 3 wickets, but still 181 on the board were too many a runs to be chased. Apart from Babar Azam, no one looked up for the challenge, Afridi’s 26 off 8 were never going to be enough for them.
