National Stadium Pitch Report

The National Stadium in Karachi has usually produced good surfaces in the PSL. In T20 cricket, both batters and bowlers have been in the game over the years. In the first match of the season, 234 was scored by Multan Sultans, which was successfully chased by the home side with four balls to spare.

Chasing totals might be relatively easier as the wicket could get better to bat on. The team winning the toss would love to bowl first and restrict their opponents to a par score. For batters, the key would be to score as many runs as possible, as any total can be chased down. Bowlers must aim to claim wickets to put pressure on the batters.

KAR vs LAH Probable Best Performers

Probable Best Batter: David Warner

David Warner has retired from international cricket for good and is taking one step at a time in his professional career. With him back as the skipper, Warner does not have any pressure to prove himself and would love to stamp his authority in a league like the PSL. In the match against the Multan Sultans, the Southpaw scored 12(6). However, the Karachi Kings skipper could have a field day in the match against Lahore Qalandars.

Probable Best Bowler: Sikandar Raza

Sikandar Raza is one of the best spinners in T20 cricket. In the previous match against Quetta Gladiators, the experienced spinner claimed 2/12 in his spell of three overs. Raza can contribute with the bat as well. However, his ability to take wickets and contain runs at the same time makes him a lethal weapon. The Zimbabwean star is hard to read, which could make him a tough bowler to overcome.
