Players To Watch out For

Babar Azam

With four losses in four games, Babar Azam remains the key for Karachi. He came close to carrying his side to victory in the previous fixture, and the knock may help him find a decent run of form. With Karachi fading fast, Azam will have to step up further and play some out of the world Cricket to rescue his side from early elimination.

Shadab Khan

Shadab Khan has been doing a good job this season and is showing his credentials nicely as a leader. His performance has also been good and he is silently doing a good job for United.

Karachi Kings Vs Islamabad United, Match Tips

With Karachi Kings winless and depleted due to injury, they have absolutely no momentum and are unlikely to win the upcoming game.

With a decent line-up, United are favorites and the only chance of a Karachi win would be if somebody in the side comes up with a blinder.
