Karachi Kings vs Peshawar Zalmi Chance of Winning
Karachi Kings have been significantly weaker ever since they lost the services of Babar Azam, but they will now come face to face with the national icon in the Zalmi clash. Reeza Hendricks blew them away in the last game and their batters, barring Shoaib Malik, failed to do any sort of magic to keep the boat going.
Peshawar Zalmi had a disappointing loss in the first game despite the best efforts of Babar Azam and Saim Ayub. Their bowlers, however, were the biggest culprits, giving away runs without putting a lid on it. Do they have it in them to turn it around? Given the way their batters moved along, I would like to believe so.
KK’s chance of winning is 56%
PZ’s chance of winning is 44%

Karachi Kings vs Peshawar Zalmi Betting Tips
You really can’t proceed without betting big on Babar Azam. His batting style may bring questions, but when it comes to the fluency of scoring runs, he is right up there. Tom Kohler-Cadmore has a sense of fair play to his approach and knows scoring runs on flay Lahore wicket will never be tricky. Don’t leave out Shoaib Malik, too, for the veteran has never stopped making run-scoring boring.
