Peshawar Zalmi is the favourite to win this match.
We anticipate Peshawar Zalmi will continue to dominate Karachi Kings in Match 2 because they have historically been the stronger team against them. Being the better team on paper, PZ does appear to have a balanced batting lineup to take full advantage of the Karachi National Stadium’s wicket. Additionally, Zalmi’s spinners can surprise the star players in the opposing batting order by playing the oddball. Therefore, we anticipate Zalmi to defeat the Kings handily on February 14.
