What is the pitch report for KAR vs PES, PSL 2023, Match 2?

It’s an out-and-out batting wicket with no real assistance for the bowlers. Even scores of more than 200 don’t look big and chase able. Defending the scores is highly challenging here.

Pre-Match Analysis:

Karachi Kings completely revamped their side for this season by releasing their trump card Babar Azam and have roped in potential players Haider Ali, Matthew Wade, Shoaib Malik, Andrew Tye, and James Vince. Imad Wasim will be leading the great set of players. Opener Sharjeel Khan has been retained after his decent performances in the previous edition. Their batting looks formidable on paper and even the bowling department has variety. They need to forget what happened last season and need to start well this year.

Peshawar Zalmi will have a new captain for this season. Babar Azam will take charge of the side after getting released from Karachi Kings. Tom Kohler Cadmore, Rovman Powell, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, and Shakib Al Hasan are the 4 overseas cricketers who are likely to start in the opening clash. The bowling unit lacks experience with only Wahab Riaz in the main frame. They will miss the services of Haider Ali and Shoaib Malik who had done well in the past. Both sides have altered their squads and expecting better results this time.
