In the 11th match of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) season 7, the two struggling sides; placed at the bottom of the points table – Peshawar Zalmi and Karachi Kings will lock horns, eyeing a bounceback in the ongoing marquee event.
Zalmi, who are currently placed at the second last position, has played three matches so far and managed to win one. Despite starting their PSL 7 campaign with a convincing victory, the 2017 champions lost two encounters afterwards, including a humiliating defeat against Islamabad United.
For the Zalmi, Afghanistan’s Hazratullah Zazai will be a player to watch despite his failure in the last encounter against Lahore Qalandars. Apart from Zazai, Shoaib Malik and Haider Ali can also play a vital role in the team’s success.

The Kings, on the other hand, had an unwanted start to this year’s PSL, the 2020 champions are yet to taste a triumph since the side could not manage to win a single game out of three matches they have played so far.
The Kings’ skipper – Babar Azam, in spite of being out of form, will be a reliable player for the Kings, while his opening partner – Sharjeel Khan, who has been impressive so far with the bat will also be a player to rely for the Kings.
It is worth mentioning here that the Kings faced a major blow yesterday as their experienced and rookie pacer – Mohammad Amir and Mohammad Ilyas has been ruled out of the tournament following the injuries and will be worth witnessing how the former champions deal with the unpleasant situation.

The two teams have faced each other 15 times, with the Zalmi remaining victorious 10 times, while the Kings could only seal five victories. In the last five encounters, however, the Kings are leading with three wins.
