The Kings, on the other hand, kicked off their campaign in PSL 6 with two impressive wins but have lost their last two matches to Islamabad United and arch-rivals Lahore Qalandars.

While all the teams have their strengths and weaknesses, it’s the toss that’s been the most decisive factor in the tournament so far. In the 12 matches played till date, teams who have won the toss and batted second have come out victorious.

The match starts at 2pm and will be broadcast live on GeoSuper.tv.
