Islamabad United vs Karachi Kings: Team news
Islamabad United captain Shadab Khan is expected to be fit from the groin injury which made him miss the last game. They have made several changes following the squad reshuffles across franchises after the India-Pakistan conflict. James Neesham and Tymal Mills have been signed, joining Alex Hales, Rassie van der Dussen, and Ben Dwarshuis. However, Jason Holder’s unavailability will be a big miss for them.
Karachi Kings have replaced Ben McDermott with Tim Seifert.
