They defeated Multan Sultans by 4 wickets in the game. The side chased down a big total, and the batting lineup looked strong. However, Warner expects better efforts from his bowlers in this contest as they look off-track against the Sultans.  Tim Seifert and David Warner delivered a flying start in the last game, and the team expects a similar performance. James Vince’s brilliant hundred makes him confident, and he looks forward to adding runs with Shan Masood and Arafat Minhas. Khushdil Shah played a match-winning knock in the last game and will look to add quick runs with Irfan Khan and Abbas Afridi.  The bowling attack struggled in the last game. Adam Milne and Hasan Ali must bowl better lines with the new ball and make early inroads into the Lahore Qalandars’ batting lineup. The team needs tight spells from Fawad Ali and Abbas Afridi in the middle overs. The team needs good spells in the supporting role from Arafat Minhas and Khushdil Shah. Lahore Qalandars Preview After losing their first game, Shaheen Afridi’s team made a strong comeback in the last game. It was a clinical performance by the team, where they defeated the Quetta Gladiators by 79 runs. They have a poor record against the Karachi Kings, and Afridi would like his players to build on the momentum and end their losing streak against the Karachi Kings.  Fakhar Zaman batted well in the last game, which will make the team confident. He must set up a big partnership with Mohammad Naeem. The middle order has good hitters, and the team needs runs from Abdullah Shafique, Daryl Mitchell, and Sikandar Raza. Sam Billings is a good finisher and will look to add quick runs with Afridi.  Shaheen Afridi led from the front in the last game, and he will look to grab early wickets alongside Asif Afridi. Haris Rauf and Jahandad Khan are struggling with their line and length, and the team needs better spells from them in the middle overs. Sikandar Raza and Rishad Hossain must do well in the supporting role.  Weather Conditions We expect clear skies over Karachi and hot and humid conditions. Though we have already seen signs of a two-paced surface, the wicket would be good to bat on. Big scores have been chased here, with the average first innings score being 159 runs. The side batting first would need 200 runs on the board. KRK vs LHQ Pitch Report National Stadium Karachi is known for being a batsman’s paradise. The outfield is quick, which allows for easy run-scoring for the batsmen. Bowlers, especially the fast bowlers, have always found it challenging to bowl here. It is a good venue for the spinners, as the ball occasionally takes sharp turns. Toss: To Bowl Defending scores is a massive challenge in Karachi. The dew factor is important in the second innings, where gripping the ball is difficult. The side that wins the toss in this game will look to play it safe by bowling first.
