Lahore Qalandars will lock horns against Karachi Kings in the 26th match of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2022. The game will be played at the Gaddafi Stadium in Karachi.

Lahore Qalandars are placed second in the points table. They have played seven games so far and won five. They beat Quetta Gladiators in their last game comprehensively.

After electing to bowl first, the bowlers performed brilliantly and restricted the Gladiators to 141 in their quota of 20 overs. They picked up seven wickets in the process. The batters then stepped up and backed up their bowlers as the Qalandars chased down the total in the 18th over to win the game by eight wickets.

Karachi Kings, on the other hand, are reeling at the bottom of the table. Nothing has gone right for them as they have lost all eight of their games so far.
