Our Prediction
Favorites to win: Multan Sultans
Multan Sultans’ opening pair are the pillars of their team as they are performing consistently in every match. While on the other hand, Karachi Kings has a weak bowling line-up and they give out too many runs to the opponent which backfires on the batsmen of Karachi Kings.
