Karachi Kings to face off with Peshawar Zalmi today

DUBAI: Triumphing over two-time runner-up Quetta Gladiators in the first match, Karachi Kings will take on Peshawar Zalmi in the seventh fixture of Pakistan Super League (PSL) third edition at Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Sunday.

The match will begin at 9 pm tonight.

The major changes in Karachi Kings’ line-up apparently seemed boosted strength in their side after an all-round performance in the first match, leading the team to a 19-run victory over Gladiators.

On the flip side, Peshawar Zalmi lost their opening match of the tournament to Multan Sultan by seven wickets but retained their strong position after beating 2016 edition champions Islamabad United in the second match.
