KAR vs PES 2nd Match Probable Winners:

Since Peshawar Zalmi has been the dominant force over Karachi Kings in the past, we predict the dominance to continue even in Match 2. Being the better side of the paper, Peshawar Zalmi does look to have a well-balanced batting unit to make the best use of the wicket in the National Stadium in Karachi. Moreover, Zalmi’s spinners do have the talent to cause the oddball to surprise the marquee players in the opposition batting order. Therefore, we predict Zalmi to register a one-sided thumping over the Kings on February 14. Considering the team combination, Peshawar Zalmi is expected to win this match.
