Winless Qalandars to take Karachi Kings tonight
Lahore Qalandars to challenge the supremacy of Karachi Kings tonight at Dubai International cricket stadium.
Lahore Qalandars to play against group stage toppers and rivals Karachi Kings in the 8th match of tournament in search of first win of the PSL-3.
Lahore Qalandars ended both the seasons of Pakistan Super League at the bottom of points table however, they were confident enough to start their campaign in PSL-3 with different results but story remains the same as they lost both the matches in this season with heavy margins.
Qalandars lost against entrants Multan Sultans by 43 runs in the first match while Quetta Gladiators humbles Lahore by 9 wickets.
Karachi were also at the fourth place, just above to Lahore in both editions of PSL but they composed themselves smartly in this season. Kings have played a gamble as they added Shahid Afridi which so far worked for them. Karachi also introduced new faces in the team which paid off well as they started with straight two wins, a 19 runs victory over Gladiators and 5 wickets win over Zalmi.
On the other side, Qalandars are coping with ever unreliable Umer Akmal while their new addition Chris Lynn injury issue was a major setback for Qalandars before the start of their campaign in PSL-3.
After back to back defeats, it is almost a must win game for Qalandars and losing again might turn them into how to avoid bottom again.
