Karachi Kings vs Islamabad United Prediction & Betting Tips 2023
Shan Masood has had a disappointing showing thus far in this tournament. In the three games, Masood has scored 52 runs with an average of 17.33 runs which is pretty low for a top order batsman. We expect Masood’s struggles to continue and him to score low in the upcoming game.
Colin Munro has had a solid campaign for Islamabad United thus far. He was brilliant in the last game against Peshawar Zalmi as he scored a brilliant 71 off 53 balls and took his team close to the target. So far he has scored 104 runs which makes us believe he would score well in the upcoming game.

Karachi Kings vs Islamabad United Betting Odds
Karachi Kings to have a better opening partnership than Islamabad United
Islamabad United and Karachi Kings head into this fixture in contrasting form, on one hand Karachi Kings head into this fixture after back to back wins on the other hand, Islamabad United have lost three games on the bounce and are desperate to get things back on track. Karachi Kings managed to overcome their disappointment from the opening day defeat against Multan Sultans as they have taken maximum points from next two games and on both occasions they had a better opening partnership than their opponent. On the other hand, Islamabad United registered a comprehensive victory against Lahore Qalandars as they won the game with eight wickets to spare but on the day they conceded a bigger opening partnership and in the last game once again they conceded 77 run opening stand against Peshawar Zalmi which makes us believe Karachi Kings would have a better opening partnership in the upcoming game.

This was a tough choice between Shadab Khan and Naseem Shah as both have bagged six wickets thus far and have had a fantastic start to the tournament.
