Islamabad United will look to bounce back and repeat the reverse fixture result when they face Karachi Kings in match 24 of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2024 at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium in Rawalpindi on Thursday, March 7.
Shadab Khan’s Islamabad United, fourth in the standings, suffered their fourth defeat of the season, losing by 17 runs to Lahore Qalandars. But will be confident in facing their next opponents Kings, whom they defeated by 7 wickets in the reverse fixture in Karachi.
Shan Masood-led Karachi Kings, on the other hand, occupy the fifth place on the PSL 2024 points table, despite their 7-wicket win over Quetta Gladiators on Wednesday (March 6).
Now, the two playoff aspirants will clash within 24 hours of having played their last matches in PSL 2024. Kings may stick to their winning combination despite the arrival of Imran Tahir, while Islamabad may make some changes to their 11 that lost to Lahore Qalandars last night.
