The 30th match of Pakistan Super League 2023 is scheduled to play between Lahore Qalandars and Karachi Kings on Sunday 12th March 2023 at Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore.

Pakistan Super League is now shifting once again to Lahore where this match and all playoff matches will be played. This match of going to be held between the best-performing team and the worst-performing team. The way how Lahore Qalandars performed in this tournamꦡent is just outstanding. They had played nine matches with seven wins to their name. They had lost two matches and are leading the points table. Remember that they had lost their match against Karachi Kings earlier in this tournament but now they are playing at their home ground and we are sure that they will win this match.

Karachi Kings had disappointed its fans around the world and had failed to qualify for the playoff. They had also played nine matches with just two wins to their name. They had lost seven matches and are laying at the bottom of the points table. They had lost now three matches in a row. We know that they had already beaten Lahore Qalandars in this tournament and they have an edge but this is also true that they are not in the winning momentum. We can expect a lot of changes in the playing eleven of this match from the side of Karachi Kings. This match is going to be very interesting as both teams are traditional rivals and are almost equal in strength.

Lahore Qalandars had beaten Islamabad United in their most recent match with a huge margin of 119 runs. They were outstanding in each and every department of the game and outclassed Islamabad United. Earlier, they were beaten by Peshawar Zalmi by a margin of 36 runs. The bowling unit of Lahore Qalandars is very strong but the pitch at Pindi Club Ground is not good for the bowlers and we had already seen that teams are scoring more than 200 runs on this pitch in almost each and every match. This match will be held in Lahore and we think that the pitch will be good for bowlers. We saw the same in the previous match where Lahore Qalandars leaked 207 runs and send the full team of Peshawar Zalmi back to the pavilion in 19.3 overs. The skipper, Shaheen Afridi was the most successful and highest wicket-taker from their side with four wickets to his name in four overs against 31 runs.🐼 Haris Rauf was the other bowler who performed well with the ball and picked two wickets in four overs while he was charꦐged with 35 runs.

Zaman Khan also performed well and picked two wickets but he leaked a lot of runs. He was charged for 30 runs in 2.3 overs. Rashid Khan was the other bowler from their side with two wickets to his name in four overs while he was charged with 41 runs. David Wiese and Sikandar Raza were the bowlers who failed to pick any wicket. The batting order of Lahore Qalandars performed well but failed to chase the target of 208 runs and their full team came back to the pavilion in 19.4 overs with a total of 172 runs. The top batting order of Lahore Qalandars totally failed to give the best performance and their key batsmen like Shawaiz Irfan, Fakhar Zaman, Abdullah Shafique, and Sam Billings totally failed to give the best performance. Hussain Talat was the most successful and highest run-scorer from their side. He scored 63 runs on 37 balls with the help of four boundaries and five huge six🧔es. The skipper, Shaheen Afridi also had an outstanding performance with the bat and scored his first fifty of this edition of the Pakistan Super League. He scored a total of 52 runs on 36 balls and smashed three boundaries and five huge sixes. Sikandar Raza is in good form but he could manage to score just 20 runs.

The performance of Karachi Kings had not been very good in this edition of the Pakistan Super League and now they had lost three matches consecutively. They had lost their matches against Peshawar Zalmi, Islamabad Uniꦛted, and Quetta Gladiators. They won the toss and decided to bat first where their batting order performed well and scored 201 runs in 20 overs. Imad Wasim was the most successful and highest run-scorer from their side with 92 runs to his name on 54 balls with the help of 11 boundaries and two huge sixes. He remained not out till the 20th over. Irfan Khan also had an outstanding performance with the bat and scored 30 runs on 20 balls with the help of four bo🍌undaries.

A Rossington scored 20 runs while Tayyab Tahir could manage to score 19 runs and Matthew Wade remained not out after scoring 13 runs. Karachi Kings lost the previous match due to the worst performance by their bowling unit. They failed to defend the target of 202 runs and leaked this target in 19.2 overs. Mohammad Amir performed well in the earlier played match and picked four wickets but he totally failed to give the best performance in the most recent match. He picked up just one wicket in four overs against 40 runs. Tabraiz Shamsi was the other bowler who leaked a lot of runs. He picked one wicket in four overs while he was also charged with 40 runs. Aamer Yamin was the other bowler with one wicket to his account in 3.2 overs while he leaked 42 runs. Andrew Tye, Shoaib Malik, and the skipper, Imad Wasim were the bowlers who failed to pick any wicket. Th🍸e batting order of Karachi Kings is performing well and if their bowling unit may perform well, we are sure that they will win this match. This match is going to be very interesting as both teams are almost equal in strength.
