Match 28 of the PSL 2022 will be held at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, played between Quetta Gladiators and Karachi Kings. The match will be kicked off on 20th February (Sunday) at 15:30 (GMT+6).
With three victories from nine games, the Quetta Gladiators are in fifth position in the standings. The Karachi Kings are at the bottom of the table, but they won their first game of the season on Friday.
The Quetta Gladiators have lost each of their last three games in the campaign. After losing by 117 runs to the Multan Sultans, they will be quite low on confidence.
On Friday, the Karachi Kings finally won their first match of the season in the ninth attempt. It would be an incredible way to end the competition if they could win two games in three days.
Weather
The weather in Lahore was sunny throughout the match, with a high of 23 degrees celsius.
Pitch
On Friday evening, both spinners and pace bowlers enjoy the conditions. We expect the pitch to offer another close encounter between ball and bat with a par score of 155.
