Shaheen Shah Afridi-led Lahore Qalandars Sunday won the toss and asked the Karachi Kings to bat first in the 8th match of the ongoing season of the Pakistan Super League at the National Bank Cricket Arena in Karachi.
After their first win against hosts Sultans in the tournament’s first game, Qalandars are now anticipating another victory with aims to defeat the Imad Wasim-led Kings on its home ground.
Kings, however, have been struggling to register a victory in the mega cricket event so far with three back-to-back defeats against Peshawar Zalmi, Islamabad United and Quetta Gladiators.
