Cricket Free Tips | Pakistan Super League 2022, Match 14: Islamabad United vs Karachi Kings

The match 14 of the PSL 2022 will pit Karachi Kings against Islamabad United. It’s also the penultimate game in Karachi, with the tournament moving to Lahore on February 10.

United are coming off a close loss to the Lahore Qalandars, which was led by Shaheen Afridi. They were aiming for a score of 175 but only managed 166-5. Nonetheless, they are in a stronger position, having won two of their first four games and are currently in third place in the points standings.

Meanwhile, the Karachi Kings have yet to establish themselves in the tournament. Their skipper Babar Azam put up a brave fight, striking an undefeated 90 in the 174-run chase, but his team lost for the fourth time in as many games. The Kings are at the bottom of the points standings.

Weather
During this evening game, the sky was clear, and the temperature was above 20°C.

Pitch
The last several games have demonstrated that chasing has gotten increasingly difficult as the tournament progressed. Scores of more than 170 have become challenging to chase; hence the team that wins the toss should bat first.
