KAR vs QUE Dream11 prediction

Karachi Kings take on Quetta Gladiators in a PSL double-header on Saturday. Karachi Kings made a disappointing start to their PSL 7 campaign with a loss against Multan Sultans in their opening encounter. However, given the experience in their squad, they will fancy their chances of registering a win and will start as slight favourites. 

After a disappointing season last year, Quetta Gladiators have added some firepower to their batting line-up with the inclusion of Shimron Hetmyer and Daniel Lawrence to their squad. They will look to turn the tables this time around and start the season on a positive note. 

KAR vs QUE Dream11 team tips for Pakistan Super League 2022

Top tip: Best batter

Picking Karachi Kings’ Babar Azam in your fantasy team is a no-brainer for this match. The Karachi Kings captain is the top run-getter in PSL with over 2000 runs at an average of 42. The right-hander is a reliable player at the top of the order and has the ability to take apart any bowling lineup in the world. The right-hander was out cheaply in the opening encounter of the season but given his repertoire, is too good a player to be ignored. 

Top tip: Best bowler

Mohammad Ilyas will be the best choice amongst bowlers for this match. The 22-year-old had a good PSL season last year and ended with eight wickets in five games. Ilyas’ ability to bowl with the new ball as well as at the death makes him a smart addition to any fantasy team. 

Top tip: Best all-rounder and wicket-keeper

Amongst the all-rounders, picking Karachi Kings’ Mohammad Nabi will be a wise option. The Afghan national has plenty of experience in the T20 format with over 5000 runs and over 350 wickets to his name. The 37-year-old picked two wickets in the last match although his side could not finish on the right side of the result.

Quetta Gladiators’ Sarfaraz Ahmed is a great option amongst wicket-keepers for your fantasy team. Sarfaraz was the top scorer for Quetta in the last edition with 321 runs in 10 innings at a strike-rate of 138. The 34-year-old is a vital player in the middle-order for his side and is expected to score quick runs at the fag end of the innings. Apart from his finishing skills, Sarfaraz is also a safe keeper behind the stumps, making him a player to watch out for in this contest.

KAR vs QUE probable playing XI

KAR playing XI (probable): Sharjeel Khan, Babar Azam (captain), Joe Clarke (wicket-keeper), Mohammad Nabi, Tom Lammonby, Lewis Gregory, Aamer Yamin, Mohammad Imran, Mohammad Taha, Umaid Asif, Mohammad Ilyas
