PSL 2023: Islamabad United vs Karachi Kings, Game 19 – Match Prediction

Islamabad United will square off against Karachi Kings in the 19th match of the ongoing Pakistan Super League at the Pindi Club Ground, Rawalpindi on Friday. Islamabad United have won three out of the five matches they have played and they are currently in third place in the points table.

ISU lost their previous match by a huge margin of 110 runs against Lahore Qalandars and they will be looking to bounce back to winning ways. The Shadab Khan-led team conceded 200 runs and then they were skittled out for a paltry score of 90 runs to suffer an ignominious defeat.

Colin Munro has scored 154 runs in five matches for ISU whereas Hasan Ali has been the pick of the bowlers for the franchise as he has taken seven wickets in three games.

On the other hand, Karachi Kings have managed only two wins in the seven games they have played. The Imad Wasim-led team suffered a loss in their previous match against Peshawar Zalmi and they will be looking to make a comeback against ISU.

When these two teams had met earlier in the season, ISU had won by four wickets.

Match Prediction: Islamabad United will enter the contest as favorites against Karachi Kings.
