LAH vs KAR Match Preview

Karachi Kings and Lahore Qalandars will face off in Match 26 of the Pakistan Premier League on Saturday evening in Karachi. The Kings have a total of six points from eight games and are fifth, while the Qalandars are at the bottom of the table in sixth place with only one win from eight games! The Karachi Kings have only won one of their last five games, but they have already defeated the Lahore Qalandars in this tournament. The Qalandars will most likely be more difficult to beat than they were before their most recent victory.

Topmost Picks for LAH vs KAR Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – Lahore Qalandars

• Sahibzada Farhan – The keeper-batter has had a strong tournament at the top of the order and is averaging 40.16 from seven innings. 
• David Wiese – The right-arm tall Namibian all-rounder is a top T20 player and he will be looking to match his figures of 1/19 in the last game in this fixture.

Top Picks – Karachi Kings

• Kieron Pollard – The vastly experienced and powerful all-rounder has finished not out on three occasions in this tournament and is the leading run scorer for the Kings ahead of this match.
• Hasan Ali – The fast bowler delivered the final over of the innings against Peshawar Zalmi and picked up two wickets. We can expect him to bowl with real pace across all of his overs in this game.

LAH vs KAR Probable Winners:

With Lahore Qalandars already out of contention for a top-four finish, the Karachi Kings will be desperate to maintain their campaign alive with a victory in front of their devoted fans. We predict a close game, with Rassie van der Dussen and Shaheen Shah Afridi keeping the Qalandars competitive. However, we believe Karachi Kings will come out on top. Considering the team combination, Karachi Kings is expected to win this match.
