KK vs PZ Match Details
Yesterday, Multan hosted a PSL match while today the PSL 2023 festival will kick start in Karachi where the home team Karachi Kings will enjoy the home advantage for their first game in PSL 2023. The KK vs PZ match details is as follows.
Match: Karachi Kings vs Peshawar Zalmi, 2nd Match
Competition: Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2023
Date: 14th February 2023
Time: 07:30 PST or 8:00 PM IST
Ground: National Stadium, Karachi
Pitch Report
National Stadium, Karachi is again a nice flat deck in which the majority of the batters will enjoy playing big shots on a consistent basis. With the new ball, pacers do get a bit of movement in here due to the sea breeze in the city while spinners also come in handy in the middle overs due to the slowness of the surface. The pitch in Karachi slows down as the match progresses so powerplay will be a crucial segment of the game to post big scores or to chase down given target.
Weather Report
Weather in Karachi is mostly very good for cricket and we hardly see many rain interruptions at this venue. Temperatures are expected to be around 23 to 25 degrees during the game with a humidity percentage of around 22. No rain is expected during the game.
KK vs PZ Probable Playing XIs
Both the teams have some high-quality local and international players in their franchises while there is another rivalry going on between Babar, Amir & Imad.

KK vs PZ Match Prediction
Peshawar Zalmi has more batting depth than Karachi Kings on paper and due to the nature of the surface available, we expect Peshawar to win this game against Karachi. KK has a better bowling unit than PZ, which can prove to be a defining factor if they can get Babar’s precious wicket early along with restricting the power hitters like Rovman Powell, James Neesham, Mohammad Haris & Sherfane Rutherford.
Team Karachi will have high hopes for Haider Ali who is picked as a platinum player this year along with experienced legend Shoaib Malik to do wonders with the bat and help KK put up a winning score in case they bat first.
