KRK vs MS Match Prediction & Analysis
Ahead of Saturday's games, the 2024 PSL table has started to take shape with Multan Sultans pulling clear at the top and Lahore Qalandars getting lonely at the bottom, four points adrift of their nearest challengers.
In this match, fifth place Karachi Kings, take on the table toppers and the recent form of both sides also points towards a victory for the Sultans.
But there is still plenty of time to go in this tournament and even Lahore Qalandars could still lift themselves into the top four positions. A win for Karachi Kings would be a surprise in this game but they certainly have enough match-winners to pull off a shock.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Karachi Kings Preview
Although they were beaten for a second successive game, Karachi Kings can certainly take some positives out of their defeat against Quetta Gladiators on Thursday.
Firstly, there was a welcome return to form for James Vince and the top three batter is likely to kick on and make some big contributions across the rest of the tournament. Blessing Muzarabani came into the team for the first time in the tournament as did the experienced Zahid Mahmood who took 2/17.
The Kings will need all of their top players at their maximum level if they are to compete in this game!
KK Over/Under Betting Tips
Karachi Kings scored 71 runs in the first eight overs of their last outing. During their previous encounter with Multan Sultans earlier in the tournament, they only managed 59 runs in the first eight overs. However, Multan Sultans' bowling attack has been leaky recently, conceding over 63 runs in the first eight overs in each of their last three matches. Based on this, we predict Karachi Kings to score over 63.5 runs in the first eight overs against Multan Sultans.
Karachi Kings Predicted Playing XI:
Shan Masood (c), Tim Seifert (wk), James Vince, Shoaib Malik, Mohammad Nawaz, Kieron Pollard, Irfan Khan, Hasan Ali, Anwar Ali, Zahid Mahmood, Blessing Muzarabani

Multan Sultans Preview
With an embarrassment of riches in their side, Multan Sultans were able to rest David Willey in their last game and still emerge with a very convincing 60 run victory. In fact, they were even able to see their skipper Mohammad Rizwan make a duck and leading wicket taker Mohammad Ali go wicketless !
But this team has players who can step up whenever required and it was left-arm pace bowler Usama Mir who did so against Lahore Qalandars and finished with six wickets to his name. But that was not enough to get the Player of the Match Award as that went to Usman Khan who hit 96 runs from 55 balls.
There are just too many quality players capable of contributing to a win for Multan Sultans.
MS Over/Under Betting Tips
Multan Sultans opening pair of Mohammad Rizwan and Dawid Malan have been in top form this season. The Sultans have averaged 51.5 runs in the powerplay overs and scoring over 50 runs in the last two matches. This clearly demonstrates their dominance in utilising the fielding restrictions. Given their recent form, we back the Multan Sultans to score over 50.5 runs in the first six overs against the Karachi Kings.
Multan Sultans Predicted Playing XI:
Mohammad Rizwan (c), Reeza Hendricks, Usman Khan (wk), Tayyab Tahir, Iftikhar Ahmed, Khushdil Shah, David Willey, Usama Mir, Aftab Ibrahim, Faisal Akram, Mohammad Ali

Minimal Turn
This is a pitch which will offer encouragement for all types of bowlers and batters will probably never quite feel overly comfortable at the crease. That said, there is good pace in the surface and a par score will be around 175.
Total Over/Under Betting Tips
In the first two matches played at the National Stadium in Karachi in 2024 PSL season, the average aggregate score was 334 runs. The pitch is balanced, favouring both batsmen and bowlers. While the average total score at Karachi in T20 matches is 367, considering the form of both teams, we predict the total aggregate score to be over 331.5 runs.
Toss: To Bowl
The first two games in this year's tournament in Karachi have been won by the team fielding first so we predict that both skippers will want to bowl first if they win the toss.

Winning Prediction
Although they have been beaten once in the tournament, we are not expecting to see Multan Sultans fall to their second defeat in this game! Karachi Kings will come good again at some point but we are not backing them to do so in this match. Our prediction is for the top of the table Multan Sultans to win again.
