ISU vs KRK Match Prediction & Analysis
We are speeding along towards the end of the group stage in this year's PSL and after this match on Thursday Islamabad United will have only one more match ahead of the knockout stage. As a result, the pressure is ramping up and victories become all the more necessary for the teams outside of the top position.
A win for Islamabad United will see them leap frog two sides and move up to second whereas a win for Karachi Kings will see them jump over Islamabad United and in turn make it very tough for their opponents to progress in the competition.
To put it simply, there is plenty to play for on Thursday evening!

TEAMS PREVIEW
Islamabad United Preview
With this game coming only 24 hours after their surprise defeat to bottom of the table Lahore Qalandars, we expect to see at least one change for Islamabad United on Thursday evening.
We will have to wait until the toss for full confirmation but we anticipate that Shadab Khan will announce the return of Tymal Mills to provide another wicket taking option.
Alex Hales is hoping to avoid his third successive duck and Islamabad United will be looking to him, Colin Munro, Naseem Shah, Faheem Ashraf and Shadab Khan to provide the expertise across this game.
Islamabad United Predicted Playing XI:
Colin Munro, Alex Hales, Agha Salman, Shadab Khan (c), Jordan Cox, Imad Wasim, Azam Khan (wk), Faheem Ashraf, Naseem Shah, Tymal Mills, Runman Raees

Karachi Kings Preview
Some pundits were starting to write off Karachi Kings' chances in this season's tournament but they sprung a surprise by beating second placed Quetta Gladiators on Wednesday and ended their three-game losing run.
Kieron Pollard returned to the team for the win over the Gladiators and we expect him to retain his place and keep Leus du Plooy out of the XI for this game.
With their batting blowing hot and cold throughout this tournament, we think their bowling attack will provide them with their best chance to beat Islamabad United. Blessing Muzarabani and Hasan Ali are both in fine form ahead of this match.
KK Over/Under Betting Tips
Karachi Kings smashed 11, 18, and 16 fours in their last three matches, averaging 14 fours per game this season. However, in their recent outing against Islamabad United, the Kings managed only 13 fours. Given the challenging pitch conditions that have made scoring in fours difficult for batsmen, we predict Karachi Kings to hit under 15.5 fours against the strong bowling attack of Islamabad United.
Karachi Kings Predicted Playing XI:
Shan Masood (c), Tim Seifert (wk), James Vince, Shoaib Malik, Irfan Khan, Kieron Pollard, Mohammad Nawaz, Hasan Ali, Zahid Mahmood, Mir Hamza, Blessing Muzarabani

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
We have seen consistent weather conditions in Rawalpindi with no chance of rain once again and the temperature in the mid-high teens. Humidity levels will increase but not to a level high enough to influence the conditions.

BalancedBatting Conditions
Moderate ScoringPace Bowling
SwingSpin Bowling
Minimal Turn
The ball will come onto the bat at a good pace in Rawalpindi but there is some sideways movement for the top quality quick bowlers to exploit if they can put the ball in the right place. A par score will be over 185 in the first innings.
Total Over/Under Betting Tips
Batsmen have had a tough time in the last two games played at Rawalpindi. Unlike the venue's usual high-scoring matches, teams have struggled to score runs this season. The average total score for the last two matches is only 273 runs. Given these drastically changed pitch conditions and recent low scores, we predict the total aggregate score for the match to be under 350.5.
Toss: To Bowl
Four of the five matches at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium have seen the toss winning skipper choose to field first. The conditions are not forecast to change much across the game so we expect both teams will want to bowl first.
ISU vs KRK
Winning Prediction
No one expected Islamabad United to lose on Wednesday and likewise, no one thought that Karachi Kings would overcome Quetta Gladiators on the same day. But this is a new day, only 24 hours later, and both sides will be focused with the final group stage placings starting to take shape. We are predicting a close game but expect Islamabad United to sneak it!
