KAR vs QUE T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, PSL 2024
Wednesday afternoon’s match in the 2024 Pakistan Super League sees Karachi Kings take on Quetta Gladiators at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. The Kings have four points from six games so far with the Gladiators on nine points from their six games. Read on as we preview this fixture. Match 22 of the tournament gets underway at 14:00 local time on March 6th.
Karachi Kings are looking like a side low on confidence and unsure of where their next victory is going to come from. Although the last head to head against Quetta Gladiators was only decided from the last ball, the Kings have now lost three games in a row.
Quetta Gladiators were in excellent form before their weekend clash against Islamabad United was abandoned without a ball bowled but that should have given some of their players a well deserved rest. We expect the Gladiators to be raring to go once more in this match.

Karachi Kings Team News & Playing 11
KAR Team News
Leus du Plooy came into the team for the last match, against Multan Sultans, in order to give Kieron Pollard a rest. But the Englishman did not take his opportunity so we expect the West Indian all-rounder to return to the Karachi Kings XI for this fixture.
KAR Key Players
- James Vince – The right-handed top order batter has not had his most productive run of innings so far in the tournament but he has an excellent record across the globe in this format.
- Shoaib Malik – The 42 year old all-rounder top scored for Karachi Kings against Islamabad United with 38 runs from 28 balls in Match 19.
- Blessing Muzarabani – The tall Zimbabwean right-arm fast medium bowler comes into this match after dismissing Reeza Hendricks and Mohammad Rizwan in the last game.
- Hasan Ali – The Pakistan right-arm pacer got the wicket of Iftikhar Ahmed in Match 19 and the 29 year old comes into this fixture with nine wickets from his last five games.
