ISL vs KAR Dream11 Prediction & Fan2Play Possible 11 Pitch Report: PSL 2023 Match 19 | IU vs KK Dream11 Prediction Today | Rawalpindi Pitch Report

There is a bit of soul searching to do for Islamabad United and Karachi Kings. After sailing through PSL 2023 quite nicely, Islamabad hit an iceberg in their thrashing at the hands of Lahore on February 27, where they lost ten wickets for 49 runs to be bowled out for 90.

Karachi are also in desperation mode, with just two wins out of seven games. Last time out, Mohammad Amir was at his best to reduce Peshawar to 2/3, but the Kings were still unable to seal victory, despite Imad Wasim’s excellent innings. Indeed, such individual performances have been a feature of Karachi’s season, but their inability to produce complete performances continue to hurt them.

For Islamabad, the key will be to bounce back and solidify their position in the top four. As previous games showed, their batting can fire on the day to post a huge score.
