Karachi
Kings
and
Peshawar
Zalmi
are
in
a
precarious
situation
as
they
are
languishing
in
the
bottom
half
of
the
table.
Kings
(4
points
in
6
games)
climbed
a
spot
up
to
fourth
spot
after
defeating
table-toppers
Multan
Sultans
while
Zalmi
(4
points
in
5
games)
lost
by
a
40-run
margin
to
Lahore
Qalandars
in
their
last
game
to
drop
to
sixth
place.

Peshawar
Zalmi
injury
update,
key
players
in
PSL
2023
No
new
injury
updates
have
been
reported
from
Peshawar
Zalmi,
who
will
be
looking
to
bounce
back
after
the
big
loss
to
Qalandars.
The
match
saw
both
their
in-form
openers,
skipper
Babar
Azam
(7)
and
Mohammad
Haris
(0)
fail
to
make
an
impact
when
asked
to
chase
a
huge
241.
The
failures
could
be
seen
as
an
anomaly
as
Azam
has
scored
two
half
centuries
this
PSL,
including
75
two
innings
ago.
Haris
has
been
in
good
touch
prior
to
the
duck
as
well
with
two
40-run
knocks
while
striking
above
180.
Loss
to
Lahore,
however,
had
some
positives
as
well
with
young
Saim
Ayub
getting
back
in
form
with
a
34-ball
51
after
scoring
3
and
0
before.
This
was
his
second
half-century
this
PSL.
Tom
Kohler-Cadmore,
who
went
silent
after
scoring
92
in
his
debut
innings
for
Peshawar,
also
slammed
his
second
half-century
with
a
23-ball
55
on
a
surface
that
had
runs
on
the
offer.
Sri
Lanka’s
Bhanuka
Rajapaksa
was
drafted
into
the
playing
11
for
compatriot
Dasun
Shanaka
and
showed
a
14-ball
24
in
return.
Rajapaksa
was
not
effective
in
the
two
innings
before
being
dropped
as
he
scored
1
and
6
respectively.
Rovman
Powell
and
James
Neesham,
who
have
been
entrusted
with
slog-over
heavy
hitting,
couldn’t
make
much
of
an
impact
in
the
chase
with
innings
of
20
and
15
respectively.
Peshawar
Zalmi’s
bowling
a
headache
There’s
plenty
of
concern
for
Peshawar
bowling
due
to
lack
of
star
performers.
This
has
led
to
shuffling
by
skipper
Azam
with
the
likes
of
Salman
Irshad,
Shaad
Masood,
Usman
Qadir,
Salman
Irshad
have
went
for
plenty
of
runs
while
struggling
to
pick
wickets.
Powell
and
Neesham
were
ineffective
too
as
they
combined
to
give
79
runs
in
five
overs.
Powell
(37
runs
in
2
overs)
did
picke
a
wicket.
Senior
pacer
Wahab
Riaz
made
the
most
out
of
the
early
movement
provided
by
Lahore’s
wicket
as
he
returned
to
wicket-taking
form
with
two
dismissals
but
gave
away
45
runs
in
four
overs.
Karachi
Kings
injury
update,
key
players
There’s
no
update
on
Mohammad
Amir’s
return
from
a
groin
injury
and
has
missed
back-to-back
games
against
Multan
Sultans.
Karachi
Kings
top-order
looks
sorted
Karachi
Kings
openers
Matthew
Wade
(46)
and
James
Vince
are
in
good
touch
heading
into
the
game.
Vince
scored
27
in
the
last
innings
and
fired
75
and
42
before
that;
striking
at
a
rate
of
175.76.
Karachi’s
batting
was
further
strengthened
with
the
superb
debut
of
Tayyab
Tahir,
who
fired
65
against
in-form
Multan
Sultans
bowlers
as
he
replaced
misfiring
Haider
Ali.
Shoaib
Malik
didn’t
get
to
face
more
than
nine
deliveries
in
the
last
game
but
has
been
their
second-highest
run-getter
after
skipper
Imad
Wasim.
The
captain
himself
has
been
the
most
impactful
player
of
the
side
with
180
runs
in
six
games
and
has
picked
seven
wickets
as
well
with
the
new
ball.
Malik
also
has
returned
to
bowling
with
the
41-year-old
veteran
taking
3/16
in
the
last
game
after
taking
1/29
a
match
ago.
Ben
Cutting
is
another
all-rounder
among
Kings’ rank
but
had
no
role
to
play
in
the
last
game
as
his
opportunity
with
the
bat
never
came
while
he
hasn’t
been
used
as
a
bowler
in
the
last
two
games
by
Wasim.
South
African
spinner
Tabraiz
Shamsi
in
particular
did
the
bidding
as
he
bowled
a
spell
of
3/18
on
PSL
debut.
Among
other
bowlers,
Aamer
Yamin
had
an
off-day
as
he
picked
no
wickets
in
his
three
overs
but
is
still
the
team’s
second-highest
wicket-taker
with
five
wickets.
Akif
Javed,
who
picked
4/28
in
his
first
game
after
replacing
Hamza
Mir,
took
2/8
to
take
his
wicket-tally
to
six
in
three
games.

Rawalpindi’s
Pindi
Cricket

gain
notoriety
late
last

when
its
flat
track
was
criticised
by

for
being
sub-standard
as
it
provided
nothing
to
the
bowlers
during
Pakistan
vs

Test
match.
However,
a
promise
of
a
more
competitive
pitch
was
made
right
after
by
PCB.
The
venue
hasn’t
hosted
any
international
match
since
then.
